Here’s a barn (now gone) that is actually a grain storage building. Not for ear corn but shelled corn, soybeans and wheat when it was in use. There’s three bins, each the length of the building and 1/3 the width. The inside walls are rough sawn oak and sycamore 2X6s laying flat. It took a tremendous amount of wood! The round tube you see was added much later and a small fan attached on the outside end to move air through the grain.

Wow. Being built like that, it should have never come down!

Thanks. I'll take a barn anyway I can get it.

They must have decided that they just didn't need that facility any more. From the looks of it, that thing could have lasted 300 years.
