This wooden structure, though a shade shorter than the leaning tower of Pisa, had a much more powerful sway.  Albert moved it from a vacant farm, for Cora wanted a separate place to wash the family clothes.  The washer was a boiler on a wood stove; the dryer, her clothesline; for soap she used lye.  If the hired help actually washed their duds out there in those modern machines, we shall never know, for they found housing in the jail.  In a big wind storm the building recently fell over.
