From the days when Thomas Jefferson envisioned the new republic as a nation dependent on citizen farmers for its stability and its freedom, the family farm has been a vital image in the American consciousness. As the main structures of farms, barns evoke a sense of tradition and security, of closeness to the land and community with the people who built them.
The impression received upon stepping into this historic barn is that of space and the destruction of the roof and end wall. The entire building appears as a single large space. Entering this building is to experience the entire expanse of the building at once. Even as the haylofts and animal stalls "consume" part of the building, they do not keep the full expanse of this interior from being seen. The openness of the interior, furthermore, often contrasts with the "blankness" typical of this barns exterior, with its relatively few openings.

Major repairs needed to that roof. It does make for a nice view of the sky.

Great picture and write-up. The old wooden barns are becoming extinct in many places.
