The image of the shed was photographed by Gus Pratt in 1937 when he was just 17 years old. It's actually 2 separate 16mm film frames contained within a slow panning shot. I stitched the 2 images together into a quasi-panoramic in order to achieve a wide shot that would show the whole shed.

I'm sure this little known story was the basis for many "SR&RL No XX is still locked away in a barn" rumors.
