This old barn by the Portage River was known locally as the "Hobo Hotel", a place where hobos would stay during the great depression of the 1930s, when many unemployed young men wandered about the country.
B/w gives the image a ghostly quality, a remembrance of the history of those old hard times.

What an interesting building and one with a history. I agree that b&w does give it a ghostly quality.
Interesting photo and a nice story.

Now it too is a derelict, a little cracked but defiant to the ravages of time.
It makes for a sad and beautiful photo.

Very nice combination of photo and words. Wonder if the hobos of our day and time are interested in making use of it yet again?
Very goog!Greeting from Bulgaria!
