On
my relatively recent walk to the Henry Spangler farm from Confederate Avenue, I got some
great shots of rural Gettysburg life. Here’s a view of some of the
outbuildings. The large structure at right isn’t the main house, and I’m not
sure of its purpose. It seems as if most of the buildings existed in 1863
except for the barn which was rebuilt after a fire. I particularly like this
scene with reds, greens, whites, and browns, and have always been a fan of
white picket fences.
