It is where I and my 8 siblings grew up. the barn was recently torn down in this photo. Only the house remains today. The silo is gone.

I forgot to mention that this is Russell J. Carson's farm.

I remember when all the buildings were standing. I suppose the silo was the most fun. For several years I climbed that thing (usually on the inside chute, but once in a while, when nobody was around, on the outside, just for kicks) seven days a week. You got a great view from the top, even though it was only 40 feet high. I could see one of the water towers in Valpo from there. Of course I didn't live there anymore after 1966. I suppose I visited a time or two in 1978 but can't remember exactly what it all looked like when I did.

Yes, I remember when the henhouse (north of the barn), baby chick house (just north of where the grain bins are),cellar by the old house to the east and much more. The old house was once the house our great-grandparents lived in before they built the bigger square house. The old house was used for grain and later chickens (the year the chickens came down with chicken pox) and still later for young pigs. The fruit cellar was behind. Dad filled it in. There was another old building just north of the east side of the barn. It was pretty well fallen down when I was young and don't remember it being used.
