Once big and beautiful

This barn is as huge in real life as it looks in the picture. It would probably cost a small fortune to repair, but wouldn't it be wonderful if the next time we went that way it would have even just a new roof?

  1. That really is a huge barn. I'd like to know the purpose of lookout ports...were they just for light?

  2. A marvelous looking barn for its design and size. It will be sad if the owner continues to let it decline. Some of these should be declared national heritage sites.

  3. The barn makes the house look almost insignificant. It would be nice if the barn could get some TLC.

  4. Love the photo, Rose. There are so many farm buildings in a state of disrepair...I think in many cases, people simply can't afford to fix them up when fixing is needed and thus, they continue to deteriorate until it is simply too late.

  5. Must have been a very big barn at one time.... What did they use the top level for???? Storage? Wonder why they had windows at top???? Light????

    Great barn picture, Rose.
