This is the side of a house my great grandfather built in 1858. He came from Scotland to California for the California Gold Rush. He did end up making a good bit of money -- with a cattle ranch. :-)
When I went up to northern Northern California to visit Scott Valley where my father grew up, I went around and looked at historical sites, especially sites related to my family. Most all I had seen before, but when I was much younger so it was good to revisit them. The ranch is still there, owned by two doctor brothers as a tax write-off. They, very nicely, have preserved all the old buildings. It wasn't very big, about 10x10' or 10x15' with a low roof. A larger house was built much later. It snows up there in the winter, sometimes a lot. They would have lived crowded into this little cabin in heavy snow. I wasn't using a tripod, and I think it's just semi-interesting, but the B&W conversion seems okay. http://members.aol.com/eactivist/PAWS/pages/homestead.htm Comments welcome.
