An interesting bit of history, and I find the old construction interesting too - purely functional with not a dime spent on asthetics. I contrast that with many of the photos of old architecture in Europe, and have to shake my head. Buildings like this in the middle of the astounding natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. What a shame. Nice photo, tho, you captured it perfectly.
