I’m guessing that you can’t buy a barn like this at Home Depot…

Jeff has a ton more photos at his Jeff Lamb Photo web site.

Mr. History writes:

This barn is on a farm in Saline Michigan USA that will always be a working farm. It can never be developed. The little plants in the soil are corn and they will get quite tall. I intend to take pictures from this spot through the year.

I intend to check back and look at said pics!

Owner Ray Wilson says a man is coming this weekend to start demolition. Ray says the guy offered to pay him for it (the timbers in these old structures can be quite valuable) but he said he would be just glad to have it gone. The foundation is beyond saving and parts of the structure are leaning already, so better to take it down before it becomes a safety issue.

Argusmaniac reports that this barn is located in Isabella County.

I bet building one of these was hard – the angles had to be really tricky!
