Hidden gem

This barn is set back, hidden from the road except for a fleeting glance as you drive by. When we saw that the property was for sale we joked that perhaps we could drive up and pretend to be potential buyers so I could take photos.

To our surprise, we discovered that it was purchased by a former neighbor who let us come and take a look. As luck would have it, I’d just sent my do-it-all lens in for repair. The point-and-shoot would have to do. I’ve got to go back when my better lens comes home and the weather’s better.

The barn was built in 1948 and is in generally good shape, though the roof needs work. It was an old dairy barn with a small, separate milk storage shed.

There’s also a tiny log cabin on the property, the perfect size for a children’s playhouse.

  1. Barns are so much fun to photograph and this one is no exception. I love the mossy roof. I love the log cabin too. I would have loved something like that when I was a little kid.
