Clark Gable Barn 5771 A
Three years ago, I was sitting in the grass shooting this barn near Silverton, Oregon when a man from a house down the road came by and told me that when the farmer who had owned this property was in his 90s, he had told him that Clark Gable had slept in this barn when Gable was working in the Silverton area.
I was skeptical, but later learned Gable had indeed worked in Silverton at a lumber company before he became famous.
Gable actually had deep roots in Oregon and lived in Bend, Silverton, Astoria and Portland before becoming a star. He loved fishing on the Rogue River even after he became famous.
I hadn't posted this photo before now because I didn't think it was visually that interesting, but when I told this story to some friends recently, they were interested, so I dug it up.
