barn doors

 

Sometimes I am privileged to be asked to photograph some interesting places.  Such was the case on Thursday at the Texas Tech Dairy Barn. Despite the 95+ degree heat, Dr. John White of the TTU College of Architecture and I entered the dusty interior of the long empty building abandoned in 1966.  We even climbed the narrow stairs -- by flashlight -- to the hay loft. These interior doors separate the "milk room" from the feed rooms and office. The Dairy Barn, built in 1927,  has regained some status with its exterior renovations and new surrounding landscape.  Watch for more news about this building which was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
