Barn Charm Christmas wishes

I wasn't going to join this week because I know I will be busy tomorrow, but maybe I will have time to visit tomorrow evening. I ran across these old photos and just could not resist posting them.
This barn is just east of Rockville, Indiana...
I had admired this barn for years before I realized that the road that went by it was a public road and not a private drive.
I loved how they decorated it, and thought it was a good entry for the last Barn Charm before Christmas. If you wish to join or see more barns, click the previous link.

A most unuusual arrangement of barn and silos. Interesting.

Lesley said...

I agree with [I and Sinbad] that it is a most unusual arrangement! Now that you know it is a public road, we may see more of it...?

I like how unique the barn's entrance is. I'm glad you included a shot that showed us how huge this barn actually is. Amazing place! Thanks for posting one more before the Christmas weekend. Have a Merry Christmas, Rose!

Very unusual looking. I love that last photo of the stone pillar included.

You mean to tell me you have never stopped your car at the end of a driveway to shoot a barn... hmm. I have done so a couple of times to take photos of horses... I imagine I will do the same with barns... :)

Thanks for the photos and I love that it is decorated for Christmas.

I'm glad you did decide to post these pictures. I really like the way that the barn is decorated for Christmas, and the fact that it's a white barn just makes it that much prettier.

Carletta said...

Full of charm!
It is so huge. I don't know why but that first shot reminds me of a large church. :)

Elaine said...

That's a huge barn with a very different design. The Christmas decorations are wonderful. They really pop against the white.

Judy said...

Beautiful Rose and it's a perfect one for the holidays coming up.

Lowell said...

These are all wonderful photos but I like the symmetry and colors best in the first one. An excellent find and a great photo for just before Christmas.

Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday and a prosperous and Happy New Year!
