Rural Architecture
Potato cellar
|
|
|
|
Just one of hundreds of potato cellars in this region of southern Oregon and northern California. The newer replacements are, of course, big metal ones as in the background here. A lot of the old wood ones are still in use, but not necessarily for storing potatoes. The lower portion of these old ones is below ground level.
Screened building

Abandoned at least three years ago, but probably no longer as the metal screen isn't rusty, yet. It was a commercial butchery and I hate to imagine the amount of flies that were here - ugh!
Back of the butchery

This is located way out in the country. I do not know how long this has been abandoned, but it still smells strongly of old beef and faint wood smoke. It was sad, repulsive and fascinating. This is, apparently, a combination that attracts me. : 0

"Man-stairs" leading up to a catwalk beside the cattle ramp. (Does that make sense?)

What does this mean? I haven't a clue, but it seems a little ominous, or maybe it's a joke.
Country Boy butchery

This sign disappeared about a year ago. The photo is about two years old. It's an abandoned beef butchery out on a rural highway.

Abandoned. I didn't realize what it was until I walked around to the back and smelled it.
Wong Potato Company
|
|
|
The Wong patriarch immigrated from China to San Francisco, probably very early in the 20th century. In 1930, the family moved to southern Oregon, bought land and founded a very large potato farming and co-op shipping enterprise. They also opened the county's first Chinese restaurant on Main St., Klamath Falls. It's still there and I will upload a photo of it, eventually. Wong Potato is now owned by the Chin family, but I do not know whether they are related.
A family, once

This reminds me of photos I've seen of the Orthodox church ruins in Russia.
