Moatview Farm, near Lynchburg in central Virginia, is the subject that sets this view apart, with its dairy barn as the focus. Bell Studio of Lynchburg made the photograph, which the record dates to about July 8, 1924, and it was registered with the U.S. Copyright Office, which is why a print survives in the Library of Congress. In the 1920s, dairy barns like this one were the working center of many Virginia farms, housing herds and supporting milk production. The record's location carries a question mark, so the exact placement is worth checking against other sources.
