content: Compare the articulation of the logs of the southwest corner (center, foreground) with the same corner in Negative 56926. The date 1934 was written in pencil on the original prints in the series, but Frank Siebert says that when he visited the Big House in the summer of 1935 the roof had collapsed but the walls were still standing. I have heard him describe this more than once, most recently May, 1970.
