    That might be a foundation, or it MIGHT be ground storage for loose cattle feed. Some bigger cattle farms use something like that. They dump it in there and use a front end loader to scoop it out.

    It looks like and old foundation of a house. The white building looks like an old Bunk House.
    The red one could even be an old mill.
    Looks like a good place to hunt.

    It looks like in the old photo there is a covered bridge just up from that mill...... That certainly looks like a very good area to hunt!
