Alfred

There are currently 13 people living in Alfred, North Dakota. There are at least that many abandoned buildings in town. Most of them, I only viewed from the outside.

I went inside this one and wandered around for a little while.

The only thing left on the kitchen shelves was a package of Ramen Noodles.

I had the red chair along when I wandered around the Alfred grain elevator. Here are those shots.

The operators of the grain elevator in Alfred apparently left work in August, 1982 and never returned. There’s stuff on the shelves, stuff in the desk drawers, stuff on the walls. I wandered about for an  hour or so and took photos at leisure. Here’s a look at agricultural America 31  years ago.

I stuck my camera through one of the small holes along the catwalk and pointed it up.
