I can see the Ft Steilacoom is a place that begs revisiting again and again. This trip barely scratched the surface.
There are several barns but this one had the most character. You have to wonder about the new red paint: was someone starting to paint then abandoned the project; it doesn't look like someone was painting out the last in the brush, there's too much color. The shadow of the bare branch with the one over the roof add to the feeling of abandonment. The roof has seriously warped to the point of undulating. The chimney is crumbling but manages to stay erect: how is that, the mortor must be near to dust. What stories and secrets would this barn tell if only it could?
