Barn Charm 23. I've posted a few barns on here for Tricia's Barn Charm and I've often heard the comment on the size of the barns here in south central Pennsylvania. It's true. Barns around here are used by the farmer for everything from storing hay and grains, parking farming implements and tractors and many have the milking parlor on the ground floor. Often called a bank barn, you can actually see the man made bank on this one, so they could pull the wagon loads of hay onto the second floor lofts. This one is also called a Pennsylvania Barn because of the overhang on the front of the barn. You can see that they blocked in in and put a door in this side of it. This barn isn't way out in the boonies either. Sitting just across the Swatara Creek from Middletown, it literally sits in the shadows of Three Mile Island, located just 3 miles south of the barn.
It's been a while, so don't forget to go over to the Official Barn Charm site to see everybody's barns. Just click on the old barn below here.

ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful barn and I love those cupolas! We've traveled a bit in your area, and there are so many of these huge old barns. The great part is that so many of them are still in use.
ReplyDeleteMassive and beautiful! Must belong to a prosperous farmer.
ReplyDeleteThat size is what I'd call massive, esp compared to barns here in SeMo! =) Love those cupolas!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining =)
What an absolutely fabulous barn! It almost looks like two parts joined as one (perhaps built at different points in time). I love the second shot featuring the cupola's.
