This is the front steps of the origninal Ft. Dodge hospital. Built in 1867. Ft. Dodge is now a veterans home but for more on Ft. Dodges colorful history look here
As an Englishman it's hard for me to imagine this was a hospital in 1867 ! I'm sure the veterans love living there now, I'm expecting the sheriff to show up soon so I'd best dash !
First thing I thought was, Is Matt Dillon in town? ;-)) (A rite of passage when I was growing up was being old enough to stay up to watch 'Gunsmoke'.) The sepia really makes this look oldtimey... Good one, Billy!

Cheked out your link Billy. Gave me, as a European, a better understanding why your image is such an interesting one. Good work my friend!
