Local charmer


This old barn has served this farm well for a very long time. It's been kept painted and the roof as well as all the other buildings, including the house, on the place are painted red.  I wish I could have gotten a shot of the whole place, but actually the best feature of the farm is the barn.  The farm is on a highway that I frequently travel around 10 miles or so from my house.  I've always admired the red-roofed buildings and it was once quite a nice place.

    This is an interesting shaped roof, and this building is well taken of!! So many times I see ones that are practically falling apart!

    Love the red roof and that pointed peak at the top!
    It does look well taken care of - pride of the owners.

    Such a distinctive roof style...must ask John what it's called. He says it's a gambrel style roof with wings and a cover in the front where the winch hangs from the track that comes out from the barn for the bringing in of the hay. Phew. Then he asked me if it was our town barn. Ha! I knew that it looked familiar.

    I really enjoy this series that you do each week. Very cool.

    I very much like the colour and shape of this barn's roof. I'm pretty sure there's nothing like it here...although, I could be wrong about that.

    I love this picture of the barn. I need to get a picture in my home of a barn. I just really like barn pictures. Maybe it is because my parents farmed. I like the red and white.
    Thanks for sharing this and keep on enjoy the moments of this precious season.

    Neglected barns have a certain charm but I do prefer those that have been cared for. This is a fine example.

    Yes, those roof lines are so charming! It looks well taken care of and I can imagine it looks extra nice with a little snow on the ground.

    You sure must have a lot of barns
    down your way!!
    This is sure a huge one. I can just imagine all the animals that lived in this barn at one time.
    It sure looks like a fun barn to go playing in too!
