This is an old barn we passed last weekend on our ramble...
Again all those windows. I suppose they are to let light in. There appears to be no cracks between the boards...
I think if I owned this barn I would really try to find the time to cut the trees away from it. It has been, and still is such a beautiful barn. I would love for it to stand another hundred years at least.
Yes, it is a good-looking barn. I have never understood why folks let so much grow up around their barns and sheds, and not keep it trimmed or neat. Tree roots, especially, can do so much damage.
Beautiful old barn. If it were in our area, it would not stand another 100 years unless it had cattle in it to keep it warm. If it's in a warmer climate that doesn't have ground frozen to 6 feet deep in the winter, it might last a good, long time. Let's hope so.
It is a big old barn and a beauty! I hope it survives a long, long time. I agree about the trees. They add a lot to the photo, but the roots and branches cause much damage over time.
it is a good looker. like the roof, cupolas and the white-trimmed windows. :)

It is a luxury barn because it has windows! Nice accommodations for the animals. It is in pretty good shape, only needs some paint.
ReplyDeleteLove the roof vents and the roof extension over the haymow door. Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeletePretty barn!
ReplyDeleteThat is certainly a grand old barn. I love the roofline. Your barns have much steeper roofs than ours - for the snow I guess.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful barn and it looks like it is on a working farm - both good things. I'm with you though, the trees could go. :-)
ReplyDeleteit is beautiful and to me the trees are what make it special. i would leave the trees.

ReplyDeleteLovely barn, Rose.
ReplyDeleteIt is a huge and seemingly sturdy barn. I too would like to see this part of our heritage preserved for future generations.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful barn---I would love to have it and spend some time on it.
ReplyDeleteI hope that 'dozer is not there to push it over.
Oh perish the thought.

It is a fine looking barn. Great capture!
ReplyDeleteI agree a wonderful old barn - it deserves some TLC.
ReplyDeleteStill in good shape, a good roof to help the walls stay strong.

ReplyDeleteI agree. It is a great barn. I too, hope it stands for another 100. Thank you for sharing this week!
