From left to right, in the top left corner is a brick building. This was the Ringling Hotel where winter quarters staff stayed. The red barn was the draft horse barn. The Ringling's had several barns around town. Across from the barn there is a brick building that was the wagon/wardrobe/canvas shop. You can bearly see a white roof next to the round building that was the winter quarters office. The round Quonset hut is the CWM wardrobe dept. and not an original building. Next is the Cat House. Behind it you can see the cage where the cat training show is done. Next is the wild animal barn. There's a covered over pit in the floor where the hippo lived. Next is the elephant house. The last red barn was for performing horses. The end closest to the road was stall, the lower end closest to the river was a practice ring. Not making it in the shot is the camel barn (gift shop) and the Feld Building, which sits on the site of the Ringling blacksmith shop. Bill Johnson took this pic.
