Our barn

Our barn is 70 feet across.  With a silo that is about 45 feet from first floor to the roof.  Foundation is stone from the farm.  Wall and roof structure are 2x6s.  Walls are 16' tall.  I don't know the roof area yet.

Basement is filled with remnants of the dairy operations.  There are stanchions and a very interesting gravity fed watering system that ran off a cistern.

Lean-to on the side wasn't original to the building.  There was a milking shed that has been removed.

Cupola on the top was lost in a 1980 wind storm.
