"Ringling Bros. Shows
Winter Quarters
Baraboo, Wis."

Does this make sense to anyone?

Perhaps, Ralph Pierce or Fred Dahlinger will add some insight. There were buildings in existance in the direction of the new Feld Building and going out that way that aren't there anymore. Maybe this is a photo of that end of the WQ.

The house is still there plus the three story barn which is a main floor and and upper story for hay and then a partially exposed stone "basement". this was known as the Chase Farm also my relatives, Alexanders, owned the property at one time up until the '70's. And it is my understanding that these same relatives, at a time when things were not of any value, had a burn of many old items left on the property. Ralph In Baraboo; 15 October, 2012 09:29
