Rough, unfinished timber posts have been used as supports for porch roof. Brother of store owner stands in doorway. Photo by Dorothea Lange. Found at /r/historyporn, posted by /u/texanwill.

One family took photos of what this area looks like now, you can see them at Panoramio; photos by coleimage. Below: Country Store No. 2.

  2. I live a mile from the store. Don’t know who owns it, but wish it could be taken care of. Seems like the elements are really working on it. It’s probably not historically significant enough for any of the organizations to come to the rescue.
