Default Barn find!!!

It's one of those stories. Driven down this road many times before and never really even realized that it was there. Pretty much in plain sight!!

I actually can't understand how many of these barn finds are not discovered? Like I said hundreds of people have driven by this barn? Didn't seem all that tough to me.
Looks mostly all original but obviously needs some TLC. Shows some wear and tear from being exposed all these years. Should I knock on the door and make an offer???

Looks like it may of been a horse/cow barn with plenty of storage for hay. Even come with a whole second barn. That one may of been for chickens!

Happy April Fools Day!

Year? Not exactly sure since some of the trim is missing. I think maybe a 1935?

Wait, I think I see a sparkle of chrome at the back of the barn. Dennis

A BARN FIND with the typical flared walls, commonly done this way back in the day... Leave it the way it is, there's to many restored BARNS around as it is.

Buy a barn that someone else has already restored, you'll be money ahead! Also, USE it! These barns are meant to be used, don't be afraid to put some horses, cows, and pigs in there.

Does it even have a birdcage?

If it does, make sure it's not rusty.

Love the flares on the barn. It could almost fly, Or maybe it can.

Enough of this already, these barns are ALL the wrong year. Everyone knows only '67's matter. The interiors are so much nicer and, of course, the side vents.

Everybody knows that red or blue barns are the most popular and desireable!

It most likely has a chicken coupe, no rust just smells bad.
