"We are preservationists. We
believe that beautiful places are easily destroyed and not easily
replaced. We honor the craft, and the vision and exuberance of old
structures. We believe that America's cities are the soul of our country " Garrison Keillor
Not too long ago a clipping was sent to me, a magazine clipping that talked about a photograph of a beautiful Napa Valley barn taken by Ansel Adams. It was shot 51 years ago and it shows a different place than we see today. We've asked around but can't place this barn ...and chances are it's been demolished. But can you take a look and see if this jogs your memory?....if so, drop us a line right here.
