A Buttressed Barn
Yesterday's cattle live in this structure. Or lived, I suppose, since both photos were taken nearly five years ago. This pic comes from the same early-2006 roll of film.
I call this the "McCargar Barn" because they owned the property in 1896, which I learned from an old plat map. There was a long-abandoned house just up the hill from here--it would probably show at the extreme left in this photo--but since Joan doesn't recall it, it was gone by 1995.
Before the current(?) owners added those impressive buttresses, it looked to be only a matter of weeks until the wall fell outward, taking the barn down with it. Glad they saved the place, but the setup still looks decidedly makeshift.
Another, color, photo of the same barn, taken a few weeks before. With cows.
