EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph taken by Dorothea Lange in October 1939 showcases a unique transformation of a former saloon and stagecoach tavern into a temporary home for a member of the Ola Self-Help Sawmill cooperative in Gem County, Idaho. The image captures the essence of rural America during the early years of the Great Depression, where poverty was prevalent but resilience shone through. The converted building stands proudly amidst its surroundings, with a wooden exterior that tells stories of hard work and determination. A simple fence encloses the property, creating boundaries between this makeshift dwelling and the outside world. It serves as both protection from external elements and a symbol of ownership for its inhabitants. Lange's lens beautifully captures not only an architectural marvel but also sheds light on how communities came together during challenging times. The cooperative spirit is evident as members collaborated to repurpose this once lively establishment into something more practical – providing shelter to those in need. This photograph is part of Lange's documentation commissioned by the Farm Security Administration (FSA) under President Roosevelt's New Deal program. Through her lens, she aimed to raise awareness about poverty-stricken areas across America while highlighting government efforts to alleviate suffering. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded that even amidst adversity, humanity finds ways to adapt and create hope out of despair.
