Returning to the barn

We finally returned to the brick barn we visited earlier. Shown here is a recent photo. The owner granted us permission to look around and take photos, so we obviously took advantage of the opportunity. It was great to get some different perspectives.

This old piece... along with a similar house (which we did not get any shots of)... has a certain charm that separates itself from most other barns. A certain character. It and the surrounding grounds are well maintained, despite their age. The owners take pride in their place, and it shows.

The craftsmanship is also obvious in the original construction... painstaking brickwork, unique and consistent doors, and so on. This is the kind of thing that most people just pass by anymore. They're worth a stop to take a look.
