Photo of the day revisited

Last Tuesday’s photographic post (see here) wondered where on the Lushton farm the photograph was taken, since the corn crib seemed to be in the wrong spot. That is, the corn crib appeared to be east of the chicken coops on the left of the picture, but in the aerial photo of the farm posted back in July it is clearly on the west (number 7 in the second photo below).

Thanks to Dad for providing an answer to this mystery. When the 1942 family photo was taken, the corn crib was located to the east of the chicken coops, in front of the windmill visible just to the left of the number 4 in the aerial photo. Sometime after 1942 Grandpa moved that corn crib to the west, to the other end of the chicken coops and the white granary.

So, the picture is correct and does not need to be reversed. Funny how the littlest details can bring back a memory of what was no doubt a big deal at the time: lifting and moving the entire corn crib from one side of the farmyard to the other.
