Brick Barn Charm

Finally! I saw this barn a year or two ago, the first time we went to the heron viewing station, but did not have a chance the photograph it. The second time we went, we approached the viewing station from a different direction and did not pass it.
But last week I had the good fortune to see it again. And Roger turned around and went back till I could take some photos. We were parked on someone else's property so I only snagged a few.
As you can probably guess, it was the middle of the day so kind of a washed out feel to the photos. But still, I am very glad to get to enter it in Tricia's Barn Charm Meme!

For fun, I leave you with a view of it converted to B&W....which happens to be my favorite. I think.

The black and white is awesome, but I don't know if it is my favorite. This barn is very unusual, do you think it's in use? Were any houses around it?

I've never seen a brick barn. Very interesting!

Carletta said...

I too have never seen a fully bricked barn. This would have truly been a beauty in it's infancy but still charming .
So glad you could finally share it with us Rose. Wish it was mine. :)

I've never seen a fully brick barn - this is a great one! I love the vines on it too.

George said...

A brick barn is very unusual. I'm glad you were able to get these pictures, but I also think I like your black-and-white version best.

Pamela Gordon said...

A brick barn is unusual. I'm glad you were able to take photos of it. I like the one of the loft doors.

Lot of character in this barn!!

Linda said...

It is a lovely barn! Glad you managed to capture it finally! I really like the use of brick in the barns - seems more permanent!

EG CameraGirl said...

Great old barn! I'm glad Roger turned around so you could take these photos. This barn works well in B&W.

Elizabeth Edwards said...

i'm racking my brain. i don't believe i have ever seen a brick barn? i don't think. what a great find. (:

Ellie said...

This is a lovely barn - I like both your colour shots and your b/w. I love the shape of it.

Beth said...

Wow--a brick barn! It looks like the right side is without a roof and essentially just a front wall--is that so? What a shame that it's not being kept better care of, but it sure is a beauty. I think the color shows off the brick more, but the b/w gives it great texture. Terrific find and post!:>)

Tanya Breese said...

that is a gorgeous barn!

MadSnapper said...

I like both the color and b&w - love the vines crawling up the side... and the sliding barn doors and the doors up top... love it all! Awesome find, Rose

Thank you Thank you for joining =)

I like your series of this barn. I like those big double door up high. The brick look good and seems unusual to me compared the barns around here. I too like the black and white version. It looks very good.

trump said...

I like, I have not seen many barns made from brick before! Richard

Faye said...

What a handsome old structure--especially with those vines holding the roof on! And has it totally lost the right side with just the front wall left standing? How old do you imagine this one is? When could farmers have afforded to use bricks for their barns--not recently for sure!

Fifi Flowers said...

Lindy said...

Really a beauty of a barn! I love the image just focusing on the side door and window. I can imagine hollyhocks growing up next to that red brick. :-)

Deanna said...
