Description
-
A tobacco barn in Broad Brook, Connecticut. After harvesting the tobacco leaves, they are hung over the rafters of the barn to cure and dry. The barn is an open-concept style to allow for airflow through the drying tobacco. The floorplan is most likely made of long walkways with no crib divisions to allow for better air flow. Vents can be seen on the side of the barn. Slide labeled with text, "Made by G.R. Swain, 713 E. University Ave., Ann Arbor, Michigan." Swain was staff photographer at U of M from 1913 to 1947.
