    Spotted the remnants of this building on a lunch break ride last summer.

    I'm guessing this was an outbuilding to a barn of some kind. A lot of old farms used to be around the area I took this.

    Just dug this up from last year, for the places of worship thread, and thought it might go here as well.

    Lots of history in this old building. In 1924, a white convict named James Knox died shortly after he was leased to Sloss-Sheffield to work in the mines. The cause of death stated on his death certificate was suicide. Later, a series of newspaper reports alleged that a coroner had determined that Mr. Knox died of heart failure while being tortured by guards who held him upside down in a barrel of water. The resulting public outrage finally pushed state officials to ban the use of leased convict labor entirely in 1928. On July 9, 1928, some 800 convicts lined up at this facility to turn in their lamps and shovels.

    Tumalo Reservoir, a (partially successful?) attempt to swindle dollars out of Oregon farmers in the early 1900s - 1920s.

    Various interests promised 27,000 acres of arable land from tiny Tumalo Creek after the Cary Act 0f 1894. Unfortunately the area is massively volcanic (who knew???) and wouldn't hold water.

    Here's the same valley during construction in 1915.

    Possibly the old spillway housing? Looks like it's taken a lot of small arms fire over the years.

    And on the same ride, here's an old barn I've always liked at the intersection of Gerking and Innes Market Roads. Quite recessed into the dirt... anybody know the history?
