Description
The arched, stone entrance to a lime kiln is visible in this image. The kiln appears to have been built into the side of a hill, in a location identified by the photographer as being near Durango, Iowa. Limestone rocks have been piled above and around the entrance to form the outer wall of the kiln. The structure appears to have been abandoned. A barbed wire fence cordons off the entrance.
