This is a huge barn. And by huge I may be under exaggerating. This thing is massive. It is now all boarded up but it is being used as storage for the grounds crew. I looked on the interweb and couldn't find much. My guess is that it was built in the late 1800's possibly early 1900's. The Norristown State Hospital opened in 1879 as the State Lunatic Hospital at Norristown. Norristown is 20 miles northwest of Philadelphia city center.

That is indeed huge! Not quite your typical style of barn, either. It's too bad it's only being used for storage, but I'm guessing it would be very expensive to renovate.
Boy, this is sure different...so wonderful. I would love to see the inside!
Wow - amazing barn! It's huge indeed and I love the style of it.
