Abandoned House in Carey Texas 1937

An abandoned house stands in Carey, Texas, a once-thriving community in Childress County. Created by Dorothea Lange in May 1937, the image shows the decline caused by mechanized cotton farming, which displaced many local tenant families. Carey, now a ghost town, reflects the economic changes that affected rural America during the Great Depression.
