What a 169 year old barn should look like.

The farm is located about 15 miles north of where I live, so I have made many trips past it. I always thought about finding a place to park and grab a quick shot with my P&S.
Today I spotted a lady walking across the yard so I pulled in and asked if I could photograph the barn. She agreed, and her husband came out and talked to me while I shot a few images. They were kind gracious people.
The stone foundation is the only give away of the age of the building. The house is a stunning mansion, would have loved to have included it, but didn't want to push my luck.

Hey buddy, glad you dropped in. Always happy to hear your good words. Not sure if the barn had a specific use at any given time, but I'm sure it changed over the years. You might say it is the North's version of a plantation, just smaller. Thank God I'm not bashful! :lol: If I would have been, I would not have stopped. Take care my friend!

Awesome Phil!!! Now that is one beautiful barn. It takes a lot of effort to keep it looking like this. So glad you stopped and asked. Most folks I run into are very nice about pictures I want to take. Thanks for sharing this gem!!!

Thanks a lot Erv, for stopping in and commenting. How's your new camera working out? Are you liking it? I just went FF about a month ago (Df) and enjoying it very much.
