Round for Barn Charm....

I will start out by saying that all of these have been shown in previous posts, but don't think I have shown them in Barn Charm....

I thought first about trying to round up all my round barn photos...and I happened across this one while looking for something else. This one is down close to Washington, Indiana.

And this one is from south of here as well, but I couldn't find it if I had to...
Anyway, those are my barns.....
I am not sure what the following would be classified as. I part of the time think they are just for grain storage, but then some days I think there might be a bit more to them.
The top one we seen somewhere in our travels...but I think it is over on the western side of Illinois, but I couldn't swear to it. If I could find where I posted it before, it might tell me more than I know now, but I am running late getting this ready to post, so not taking time to look it up.

The ones below, I could eventually find...
They are over in Illinois, south of U.S. Route 36....east of Tuscola, Illinois...but just where I am not sure. I know I seen the tops of them from the highway...and we went on a hunt and found them. When I spied their roofs from the highway, I thought I had found more round barns...


I was not too disappointed when I found these instead.


I just think they are so interesting...

Anyway, even though they may not technically be barns, I hope you find them of interest.

If you want to see more barns, go see Tricia at Bluff Area Daily.

debi said...

these are all wonderful, I really like the the last one (or 3) whatever it is used for it looks well cared for. great shots

Ginny Hartzler said...

What are these last ones, yes, VERY interesting, I have not seen anything like them! Even the building materials are so unusual! Some of these look like our church! Totally round so the devil can't corner us!

Elaine said...

Rose, this is a wonderful series! That last bunch look like silos because of the venting, but whatever they are they are really unique.

Deb said...

Well those are absolutely interesting barns indeed. Most unusual. Really cool too!!

Lesley said...

These are fascinating buildings. Being firmly entrenched in the city, I know little about the workings of farms, so I just admire from a distance.

Lois Evensen said...

What a fascinating collection! Great! They were worth the repeat, especially the last ones.

Jeannelle said...

Great set of photos!

Debbie said...

George said...

I really like the round barns you shared with us. The other buildings are also interesting, although I have no idea what they are used for.

Carletta said...

I love the round barns but these last shots are very unique. I've never seen anything like them.
Super barn finds Rose!

Kathy said...

You seem to have found something very unique to your area. So glad you shared with us.

L. Neusiedler said...

what a beautiful & interesting trip I took with your photos this morning! thanks for sharing!

Ellie said...

What interesting and unusual barns - love the roundness of them.

Sue said...

I used to live in Illinois and we had quite a few of them in our area (NW). I miss seeing them. These were a nice reminder.

Linda said...

I love your choice of round barns for today! They are very interesing, and nicely presented. Have a great day!

Mari said...

These are so cool! I love the green roofs and the way they are connected. Great post!

Neal said...

Those are really nice looking barns. It's hard for me to tell what the roof on the green barn is constructed of. I believe it shingles but am not sure.

Elizabeth Edwards said...

love it. i don't get to see round barns that often. so lovely. (:

Judy said...

I love this one, you got some really neat shots of it.

don said...

You've posted a fabulous series of great looking barns...including the grain type or whatever they are.
Excellent series work for Barn Charm.

The round barns are really neat and interesting looking. There was one in Eastern Washington for about 120 years and finally fell down. But it was a beaut. Not typical for out this way so they are always fascinating to see. MB

MadSnapper said...

this is a first for me and ditto what Tex said, they are all fascinating, what ever they are. i like that round barn, woo hoo, did not know they existed. something new every day.

Tanya Breese said...

wow, they are just all so unique!

Rose they are a treat to look at! Uniquely round for sure! They are very charming :) I would love to see one up close and get inside. The white with the green and brown roofs/rooves make for a cool contrast. And they are beauties sitting there in all that green landscape!

They're all very interesting, but the last ones really take the cake! WoW!

Thanks for joining, Rose! =)

Nani said...

the round barns are so cool! I especially like the "set" at the end of your post.

Ruta said...

Oh....I Love round barns...and these are terrific!! Wow! I so enjoyed this series!

Anonymous said...

Interesting is an understatement, these are really cool!

Thanks for the inspiration! You just reminded me of a hexagonal barn just a few miles from my home that would be good for this meme.

genie said...

What awesome round barns. The only place I ever see them is here on Tricia’s blog. These are especially nice, and the trio is the greatest. Bet you were thrilled finding these. Great post. genie

Susan said...
