Photographic evidence

The original Fairfield website was constructed from a series of peculiar events, essentially from my somewhat fortunate acquisition of a lot of pictures that I didn't know existed. The story is strange, but not unlike the whole of this endeavor. I found the photos in 2003 and built a website based on my memories of the town and what the photos had inspired. 

Along the way, it changed, became more familial and finally it just was what it was -- a part of the history of the town. Others conspired to make the story better. Thus, a lot of the original content on fairfieldindiana dot com was linked to personal memories. 

Not much of that will matter in a few short years because the narrator won't be there to respond. So I will post a photo here and there and describe it and why it might matter. There is no other point to that.

This was the old buggy factory, the largest building in Fairfield.
It was originally built by George Loper, who ran a buggy and harness business in town in the 1880s.
Toward the end, apartments. Lots of brick in that building.  The photos were taken in the late 1960s after everyone had departed, leaving the rest for scavengers.
