I'd also note (architecturally) that breaking the roof tree to install the cupola likely relates to why the ridge is sagging, even though the rest of the structure seems fine.
Thanks dbnc. If you like them, be ready, I just took over 500 photos of old houses, barn, stores, schools, ect. and they are coming on four per day. Thanks.
There were several of this style in Iowa and NONE next door in Missouri, whizbang. I'm not sure why the difference.
I'm not sure why either, Dondi. The windows on the end are pretty high, too. I'll be posting a load of old buildings and impliments, too over the next while-I hope your around-I like you observations. Thanks.
This barn has a happy face. And yes, the cupola is a bit strange. As whizbang notes, it has a mini version of the barn roof - but I'm also puzzled as to its function. It's much higher than it needs to be to provide ventilation, and it doesn't seem to have any openings. A penthouse for the highest quality hay...?
