1913 and in color, am I missing something??
★VegaChastain★
Absolutely beautiful.
Idle Rich
Choopius: thats when the photographer was born. Great shot - and a great effort by the LOC to put these photos up here (this is the first one I opened).
jonathan mack
it's actually 1943. the photographer was BORN in 1913
ecoDoug
I was going to say, that seems like too good a color process for 1913. However, it is an excellent photo of a place I know well and love dearly.

From: The American Image: The Photographs of John Collier Jr, University of New Mexico. "In 1941 to 1943, Collier worked as a photographer with the Farm Securities Administration and the Office of War Information under Roy Stryker and documented many areas around the eastern U.S and northern New Mexico."

This is why I will never get rid of my old Pentax ME Super and K1000. Slide film still is tough to beat. If, of course, the shot is on the money.

i grew up in this area and this image captures the sense of the gently rolling landscape and the way buildings fit definitively and appropriately into the landscape.
TRWexler
Maybe I'm crazy but I think the color looks pretty good for 1943, too.

Classic photo.

Lovely photo. And there are scenes just like this here in the Catskills today.

I have always lived in this area and what strikes me is how nice it is to see no power lines!
schmeernirnir
I was wondering if this was John Collier as in John Collier of the BIA--I never knew about his son before. Thanks so much for the link, Greenpeace Doug!

sylvieatd - close, but no cigar. You've put it on top of a gas station or similar :-) I'm guessing it's more like Route 30 between Margaretville and North Blenheim NY, or maybe Route 10 between Walton and Stamford.

What's amazing is how similar this area looks today - I photograph landscapes all over the Hudson Valley and it's extraordinary!
boadiccea
Looks like the Catskills I knew in the 70s and 80s! Just beautiful!
tofu_minx
a great haunt this photo is... the lines blend seamlessly into the road...and the country side...

That's beautiful :)

It would appear John Colier died in 1992, assuming he's the same "John Collier Jr" I found here: www.flickr.com/people/johncollierjr/ www.iwf.de/va-origins/biograph/coll_2.htm americanimage.unm.edu/biography.html *thus the byline should read: Collier, John, Jr., 1913-1992, photographer.

This barn looks old even in 1943 - wonder when it was built?
[bastian.]
Wonderful! -- Seen on your photo stream. (?)
dmalantic
Beautiful photo! Sharp, great lighting, wow - I have to see if it's still there
child of the 50s
dmalantic - any guess as to where this one is? I've driven by many such, but remember the location of only one or two in farm country just west of the Catskills.
Ed Visoso
Great image!
Jean Knowles
Great example of a bank barn -- build into a hillside so that there are grade-level entrances on two different levels of the building.
khiaaok
nice place
RobandSheila
gorgeous. both place and imaging. good job, LoC.

I grew up in Stamford NY "Queen of the Catskills". This looks like a barn on Route 10 going from Stamford to Hobart - on the left hand side of the road - just past the Brooks farm. I believe it was once owned by the Tullys. Maybe it was Tooleys
child of the 50s
Derby City - glad to hear that confirmation of my fuzzy memory. That's not far from here, so I hope to drive over and get a Spring 2008 shot of it.
Derby City (Rachel Pace)
Do you live near there now, child of the 50s? I'm also thinking it might be the Churchill barn on Churchill Rd between Taylor Rd and Peck Street. My nephew has just visited me and told me that barn has been renovated and is now a beautiful home.
child of the 50s
Derby - I'm in Woodstock, 60 or 70 miles from that part of Route 10. I'll jot down your notes and stick them in my camera bag for a future day of exploration. .... Lew
Happppppppy!

Great Photo of a German Styled Barn. There are many of them all over the Eastern Coast of America. You can tell what Nationality built this barn, by the drive up, huge barn door.
