They certainly don't make 'em like that anymore!

Take a lot of work not to mention money, but it would make a beautiful home.

The house is built the same way, just smaller and lower. That type of construction is very common around here

Right now the barn is falling apart from neglect and some people would even condemn it as an eyesore. I am just thinking how proud the owners must have been when they finished building it. The handcrafted stone work, the planning, the time and the hard work. When I see old homeplaces and old barns and such, I think back to them being someone's pride and dream once upon a time. The things that we are so proud of, someday will be looked upon by others in the same way, I imagine.
 
We have 2 barns that are in about that same shape -
I'm fighting tooth & nail with my dad -
he wants to tear them down and build another metal building to hold his modern toys -

I say that anyone can have a metal building :roll:
but not everyone can have a barn that his grandfather helped build in about 1900 and another barn that his great uncle died building in 1914

guilt about tearing them down has gotten me this far in saving the barns - I plan to continue! ;-)
