New Slaughterhouse at Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge in 1948

view of a large, single-story building, located in the center of an fenced corral (wire fence on the left, closest to the camera; wooden plank fence on the right). In the field in front of the building are 3 trucks of 1940s vintage, as well as 2 or 3 horses (one of which has a rider, on the left, and the one on the right is being lead by a person). Other buildings are visible beyond the right fence. Several hills rise in the distance. The building is white in color, and features 5 windows and 2 doors
