Fire!
A man is shown inspecting a burned down building. Only the flag pole remains. What kind of building was it? I don't know. Do you? The photo is from the 1940's.

About Me
- Name: Ookpik
- Location: Michigan, United States
I began my interest in vernacular photography by a chance acquisition of over 10,000 negatives dating from the late 1920's through the early 1970's. Luckily, I knew what I had was something more than "someone's old pictures." This cache of old images became the impetus for me to create two Photoblogs: Ookpik’s Negativity and Mystery Ships Of The Great Lakes. Ookpik’s Negativity contains photos that I would like to know more about while Mystery Ships Of The Great Lakes features photos of ships that I am trying to identify.

If it had a flagpole... it must be some municipal building. (?) Maybe a post office or library, school, sub-station?
I like the old crates in lieu of orange plastic cones & yellow caution tape.
It's a burned-down building.
Silly!
Robin - Although we will never know, based on the flagpole, my guess was the same as yours - some type of municipal building.
The old crates are labeled "Sal-u-taris." Sal-u-taris was a mineral water made in St. Clair, Michigan.
It's probably the Fire Department! Notice the LARGE opening to the left... I think the FD burning down would merit a photo memory!
