My father built this barn in the 1950s.


I like it.

That's an old beauty! Love it! I sure wish I could see my dad's old barn again. There's just something about old barns...

Barns that are too perfect have very little character to them, I think. This one oozes character.

Very charming! I love the washed out gray siding. I hope it stands for a long time.

I like it to! What a great barn to have in the family. Better yet you had a dad that could actually build something. My father started to add a closet to my brothers bedroom and the 2x4 frame was all that was completed 10 years later when the house was sold.

I can imagine it in all its new glory! Of course it's beautiful with the more rustic look as well.

Amy how awesome to have this photo of a barn your own dad built. I have one that I posted a long time ago of one that my grandfather built which was over a hundred years old. How much personality these old barns have. Have been looking through your lovely blogs and am so jealous that you are retired. I can only guess how wonderful that must be. Soon!!! Anyway, so nice to meet you, and will look forward to getting to know you! Jeanne from Butterfly Tales...
