Is it just me ?

Is it just me or do others want to see barn photos that include a person dressed for the time period or occasion? An old house with a person?
Landscape photos that include a person enjoying the view while also adding perspective?
I have an Oregon photo of a commercial building built in 1852, still doing business. It's nice but needs someone dressed accordingly, sitting on the bench in front of the store.

I love old barn photos but prefer no people. Same with house. Like old house with no people.

I agree with you. IMO, the addition of a person detracts from the main subject - the old barn or old house or old building.

People in landscape photos can certainly help with scale and interest, but they aren't always available or willing to pose. I thought of carrying a mannequin around with me, but was afraid it would scare my 12-pound dog

Each to their own. However, when a person is present in the image it will change the emotion that is evoked by the composition. Therefore it is up to the Photographer as to what emotion, she or he, wants to convey. That said, the viewer will have his or her own emotion evoked by the image. Sort of like quantum mechanics where viewing an electron ( the viewer of the image) will change the out come of what is happening if there was no viewer (just the photographer doing his or her thing and capturing a unique image).

Put the dog in costume and tell everyone it is one of the "little folk" who has been trailing after you lately.

I can go with both sides here.
If the building is a complete ruin, no people.
If it is just old and a little rundown but still functional then people can add to the image. Esp if dressed to match - and a farmer in front of a barn or old country store wearing Bib Overalls with a wide brimmed hat could be timeless for most people since they don't know how far back bib overalls go. They are mentioned in writing back to the late 1700s and Levi's modern design is from the 1890s, Levi's 501 jeans go back to 1873. Add a flannel or wool shirt and a wide brimmed hat without any kind of logo and 99.9% of people will not notice anything "wrong". Just tell the person to hide the wrist watch or glasses and don't wear their John Deer hat or super bowl belt buckle.

Typically, those buildings are abandoned, especially the severely decrepit and dilapidated ones.
Having a person there would, to me, probably seem out of place.

There are restoration villages where you can take that type of picture. Then you have a staged picture. Otherwise press the go back in time button on the side of your digital camera.
Another option is to drive through an Amish area, which I do frequently. But since they prefer to not be photographed I don't. I do enjoy seeing their horse and buggies parked at Wal-Mart or Lowes. Both stores provide shelters for the animals.
