    Cool old barns, hate to see them falling down but the same thing happening in this part of the country. People die off and the farms are sold off and absorbed by bigger operations and the original homesteads are abandoned

    Maybe not a barn, but a big old elevator on the side of the road somewhere close to Pullman, WA IMG_0176.JPG

    Here’s a “magazine”.
    It was the place the German society went to pick up their food portions that could not be grown in the area.
    It was renovated in the 1960’s. White oak clapboard, original tile roof,
    The back was open for deliveries. Even has a carrier pigeon coup in the attic.

    We’ve recently celebrated the Bicentenial here.
    We had a gentleman paint a remembrance logo on the only barn left during the Zoar era. 1817 thru 1897.

    I like the "magazine". i'm familiar with that name as a building used to store ammunitions.

    Probably like a lot of people on here my shop space is a barn or in my case a pair of barns. It was the first major renovation project I did when I bought my dilapitated property about 20 years. As a New England "connected" farm house they were originally attached to the house. I poured foundations and pads for them and moved them to a different location on the property and then re-sided and re-roofed. Truth be told they are a big compromise in terms of shop space but I couldn't bring myself to demolish these early 1800's chestnut framed relics. First few pictures are of the building move rest are more recent. 20180516_130759.jpg 20180516_130706.jpg 20180515_080128.jpg 20180515_080736.jpg 20180515_080759.jpg 20180515_081321.jpg 20180515_081352.jpg

    a big thank you for saving them. I belong to a local History and Landmarks group here in Washington Co. Pa. we are looking for a barn to move to our Co. fairgrounds for an agricultural museum.

    Vintage6t,
    Just amazing how you’ve moved and repurposed that piece of history.
    My hats off to you.
    That’s a heck of a project to undertake.

    In my area the time seems to be coming when these will be eliminated:

    That pic really shouldn't have been included in my complaint about losing barns. It's not local
    to me. I drive by that place occasionally and am amazed it's not picked clean by people in the
    dead of night. Either people respect the owner (and are law abiding) or fear his shotgun!

    I just read an article describing the theft of the siding from a Mail Pouch barn in Marshall Co., Indiana, in July. I almost hope they stepped on a nail doing that.

    I have most of an 1861 carriage barn that was going to be demolished, saved the 7' cupola with slate roof,3 sets of 6' hand forged door hinge assy',hay loft grapple and tracking,cast iron feed bins and hay racks and a pile of beams.I was going to use with an 1830's cape to make the picture right. Somebodys going to do something with it.

My dad and I jacked it up 2 and a half feet and concreted in all new posts. We put cables and turnbuckles on it and turned them off very few days for a year to straighten it another 2 feet or so. We hang tobacco in it and will be here for a long time. My kids and I sadly tore down a neighbors that was built in the 30’s A storm had blown it about over so we spent 5 weeks working on that We got a lot of wood, beams, and Tin to use for ours. Birdhouse my son and I made 14 years ago when he was 4 out of my uncles barn wood in Iowa. CAB1E956-F852-49E1-8D73-03C28B13363F.jpeg
     
  25. Where I live they are tearing down the old barns to use the weathered wood for furniture, doors, floors and things like that. It's a big trend......original patina sells.

    ^^ I watch the various house flipping shows on tv and am amazed what the hosts pay
    for the reclaimed wood. A couple of them are wise enough to build up their own stockpile.

    Photo taken in 2009, in a park in a town that was supposedly proud of its
    farming heritage (Homer Glen, Il.). It's been torn down.

  29. This was ours. I took all the model A parts out first. Unfortunately it too far gone to save. [​IMG]
