Description

Fine art vertical landscape photograph capturing warm morning light falling on the rustic T. A. Moulton barn on Mormon Row in Grand Teton National Park. The gabled roof peak of this "rustic vernacular" style barn is dwarfed by the snowy peaks of Grand Teton, Mt. Owen and Teewinot rising to dramatic heights. Fleecy rain clouds breaking to reveal a beautiful blue sky above the mountains.

An excerpt from the National Register of Historic Places Register Form, courtesy of the Grand Teton National Park Historian, "The barn is constructed in the classic western gable-with-shed style that allows for a hay loft, a central component for storage of farm machinery, and shed-roof components for animal stalls. Moulton constructed the lower level of the central component in 1913, added the gable roof/hay loft in 1928, the south shed-roof extension in 1934, and the north shed-roof extension in 1939. The dressed logs are joined with square notches, finished on the central component with split-pole chinking nailed over cement and oakum daubing. Lath chinking secures the daubing in the north shed and both split pole and lath are used in
the south shed. The building is constructed on a native-stone foundation. Board-and-batten siding clads the gable ends, the one-half story of the shed-roof components (above the top log), and the lower third of the east (front) elevation of the central component; this mix of vertical milled-lumber and
horizontal logs creates a patchwork appearance, particularly on the east elevation."
