"The German double-crib “bank barn” represents a highly specialized form of architecture. This barn served the needs of the Houtz family’s large-scale commercial farming operation on Mason’s Creek near present day Salem, VA. Barns of this type may still be seen in Pennsylvania and throughout the Shenandoah Valley."
Isn't this a great old barn? I love the different pieces of wood they used....linking with Tom's Barn Collective
Tanya, what a beauty! The siding and the doors are wonderful. I rarely see barns with overhangs like this locally. Thanks for sharing this great barn...please stop back again.

This is a lovely, old barn. Good to see it is being maintained.
ReplyDeleteI was able to see the photo on FB but the top photo on your blog will not load for me. I think we are all fascinated by old buildings, especially vintage barns.
ReplyDeleteFantastic vintage looking barn! Nice find Tanya.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen anything like this barn! It almost looks more like a mill. The doors are incredible! What are those black marks on the doors? Where they have been repaired?
ReplyDeleteWhat a find! It is awesome! I love the different wood and the stone foundations.
