It was the closest building to Willowbrook Pond. A school teacher of mine showed me and a few friends atrail from the pond to the building mentioned above. We never knew of the Farm Colony and when we entered the building we were amazed to see all the cows. There were no houses at all on the trail from willowbrook Pond to the cow barn back then !
