I agree: it looks wonderful. But, to my mind, the new windows are not in style.
Have a great Sunday,

Yes, the new windows don’t exactly work with that barn but they do suggest a commitment to maintain that solid structure.

It looks like some one might consider renovating this, perhaps making it a home. I wouldn’t mind doing that though I am a city girl and would likely go crazy out there in the field. Hey, that looks like a new roof too. Beautiful photo, Mike.

It would make a great home and studio for sure. Heating it would be a chore in the winter.
Thank you.

I ride on country roads looking for things like this. Here I had the advantage of some really good light allowing me to do this barn some justice. Thanks, Dor.

The wood is gorgeous. Around here, some of the oldest barns — from the 1700s — are in the best shape. People have taken care of them and it shows … while some much newer ones are dilapidated and look about ready to fall down.

The wood is gorgeous and When I rode by and saw that light I made a quick u-turn. We don’t have things here from the 1700s except for dwellings like Mesa Verde.
I would care for my own barn as I do my house. I’d love to have a few goats.

It certainly is a beauty Mike. I wonder why the barns in the US all have this distinctive shape to their roofs?
LikeLike
Good question. What kind of shape are your barn roofs? I’m sure the shapes here would be about function.
Run- off, sun, wind.

Our barns tend to be a straightforward apex Mike.. I’ve often wondered why the differences. I think perhaps the Dutch had a big influence early on and perhaps it is simply an architectural style. 🙂

It appears those windows may have been recent additions to the loft. But if one wanted something more barn-like, I suspect the customized order may be a bit pricey.

The windows are a sign of great respect for that structure, which has to feel loved.

It sure is a nice one. All seems quite straight and true. I wonder if they built a new barn with reclaimed wood? Even the singles are new and the foundation is too good for an older barn. I do like how the siding is horizontal -vs- vertical. If it is an oldie but goodie, kudos to the owners for the diligent upkeep, there are enough of them around.

Hey, I might know my way around a barn or two…LOL. None as nice as this one though. Looks like they drive into the big door, so probably not a residence but you’re right! I’d live there too. Imagine all that room to hang out!
