Description“Here is a continuous ‘movie’ that I made of the old farmhouse and barn which still stood, in the early thirties, just beneath the high point about 3 miles west of the College, that we local people call ‘Prospect.’ The barn fell before the house did, but in the end the house fell too, and I went up in the following Spring and made the last picture.” (SOURCE: “Photographs by Silvia Saunders,” exh. cat. (Clinton, NY: The Edward W. Root Art Center, 1966).
