That barn is amazing! Our horse barn is 70 or so years old and is a converted dairy barn. Time has definitely taken its toll, and next year we plan to put on a new roof. The inside is structurally sound, though. It's such a great old barn!

I can't wait to see pictures as your project progresses!

I love the pictures, and would love to continue to see the progress! It's half heartbreaking, though, to see it go down, but I'm glad it's going to be re-used. The barn on my property was built in 1872, I can't afford a full scale restoration but I'm doing everything I can to make sure it stays standing and usable for another 100 years. It's an old english 4 bay, not near as pretty as the gothic arch style.

Hey everyone!! I know it's been awhile since you've heard from me on this topic, but great news!! My dad is back from the oil fields for a couple of months and once it warms up again (we're getting close! ) we will begin the deconstruction. We didn't manage to get the wall shored up before he left in the fall, but amazingly it has survived the winter! Luckly we didn't get too many super heavy snows that stuck so it has only sunk a bit more. I mentioned before the other barn we are taking down as well. This one is not quite as old and is a very differant style. I don't have current photos of any of the clean up we have done there yet, but I will soon I promise! Here are some of it when it was still dirty. I personally love this barn, it has a very cozy and warm feel to it, but my dad said he doesn't care for it. (oh well, it will just have to be MY barn then.) I will go about answering questions and such after this post, but just bear with me, it may take me a little bit. Thanks for all of the warm barn thoughts!! I am going to the town library tomorrow to see if I cant find an old photo of the big barn somewhere in the records. I will post more about it's history in a later post too, but long story short, in it's day it was one of the most exspensive barns to be built in the area. It was a show barn and if you could imagine it, it was completely white(even the ceiling) with light strips all down the aisles. I imagine it was quite the sight! NOW...Cookies for you for getting through this post! I would absolutly LOVE to see all of your barns too! I grew up in all these old farms and houses and I love the uniqueness of each one that you just don't get with houses or other buildings these days.It's like they have their own personalities!

THAT barn is almost identical to mine in style, except mine is the length of about three of those put together. It's in about the same shape as well, maybe a little worse than that. Love it!
