The caption identifies this barn as the place where dynamite was found, which set it apart from the many farm buildings a news service might photograph. The image belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made up of pictures supplied by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. The record gives no date or location, and the title comes from caption information the service did not verify, so the event behind the picture is best approached with caution. Even so, the plain rural structure shows how an ordinary outbuilding could become a news story.
