Iowa State College dairy farm on Mortenson Road. This facility was built in 1924-25, destroyed by a lightning fire on Oct. 6, 1931 and rebuilt in 1931-32. The silo which received the lightning blow was not rebuilt until 1935. Fire struck again on October 19, 1958, when the east wing roof was burned. The silos were razed in 1968. This photograph dates from the days when Farwell Brown was a student at Iowa State. (See also: 184.1044A.1)
