It is amazing that some old farm structures can stand after years of abusive weather. Built with wood and by men who are long gone, barns still stand.
This old barn has been standing for over one hundred years. You can see the steam coming off of the roof as the sun warms the tin roof and the frost begins to melt. The key to keeping an old structure standing is a non-leaking roof.
This square, flat roof barn is also over 100 years olds. It is beginning to show some wear and will need to be repaired but the roof is still solid.
This elongate barn was once used as a milking barn. The roof has been repaired and is now keeping the weather out.
This structure is a bermed structure. It is used to store propellant manufactured for the Army. It was built during World War II. It was built so if the propellant exploded it would blow up and out the front. These structures are well maintained and are weather tight.
Old barn structures come in all shapes and sizes. The well built ones that are still standing are a true testament to the men that built them long ago.
