I am not sure there was ever a "Playfair Place", and wonder if "Playfair Stairs" is a better title?

This exact photo was used on Page 3 of the April 26, 1911 Washington Post. The arrest of McNamara happened on April 23, so the photo was taken sometime in the interim. The barn was rented by John J. McNamara. Owned by "T. H" or "D." or "F. M." Jones (different Washington Post articles), a half mile or 3/4 mile west of Indianapolis. Dynamite and nitroglycerine were found inside. A photo of "F. M." Jones accompanies this photo in the April 26 1911 Washington Post.

Looks more like telegraph lines to me :)

Having worked on poles and lines like this, - these are not power lines. They could be telegraph but most likely good old telephone open wire lines. They could be control lines for the power plant but I doubt it. There is a larger cable attached to the pole below the open wire, most likely phone cable added to increase capacity but also sometimes used by the rail road.

Ummm... let's see, the title says "telephone lines," now, I'm just saying, but that seems like a pretty good clue to me as to what these are.
