Here is the barn I posted a bit ago with most of the snow off the roof. Taken in 2013, so trees were smaller. You can pretty much read the date on the barn.

Those trees have grown nicely!  

Do these barns have more than one floor for storage of grain sacks etc. above, and straw below, or maybe livestock/horses below - or are they just a tall open building inside, for hay/straw storage?  Its nice to see the detail here, is the structure all wood?

Hi Carol

New England barns vary greatly- this one seems to have several entrances, the top right is probably where animals went in from the pasture, and tractors could drive in too.  Hay storage was generally in lofts, though a lot of barns had silos-most of them have fallen down. I am not sure if this barn was in use -it certainly doesn't to be operational now.  I hope this barn stays standing!

Red painted wood seems to be typical for barns, with a white farmhouse. I hope this barn stays standing- the roof is unusual.

This old barn has such great character and is so unique, Cindy. Love the date on the roof — so classic!

Thanks!  I used to love looking in these old buildings when I was a child - perhaps not the wise thing to do now........
