NW 20th Ave - Part 2 - Barn

Be sure to click images to enlarge...

It really does not get much cuter than this old log barn...To think each log was chopped down and de-barked by hand before being put into place just blows my mind...They may not have had much money back then, but they knew how to make good use of the resources on hand..Check out the angle the doors are sitting. The North/East corner of the building has collapsed giving the doors an almost cartoonish look to them....

A few things left hanging on the wall of the barn, at one time these must have been important enough to someone to need to be able to find them easily...


Last weeks photo shoot got postponed because of rain, but I did get to go this week and shoot the green house on 129. I have about 150 images to go thru before I share the best ones...My friend and amazing photographer Lois Fletcher, joined me yesterday, so I hope to share some of the photos she got as well...We also visited the Quilt Museum and I interviewed Ms Horne whom happens to have some interesting stories (to say the least) about her family, and was able to share some of the history behind NW 10th ave and also the green house on 129...I have one more person I would like to interview about the green house before I share what I have learnt so far...

Until then, Blessings Kelsie

    Those logs are fantastic!!! It takes 6 times more timber to build a log home than a traditional home...(used to date an architect:-0)

    We take so much for granted - we build houses in two weeks, but will they still stand after decades, as this log barn does?

    I love visiting old barns and homes. I always wish I knew the stories they could tell. It almost seems haunting to me. It's amazing that this barn as withstood the elements and the termites for so long.

    So beautiful! It's a wonderful thing you are doing to document these houses. I live in a pioneer ghost town and just in the last decade a number of the historic buildings here have been torn down or have seriously degraded by the help of people. I fear in another decade most will be gone.

    Old barns are indeed full of charm - as long as one isn't milking the cow, cleaning out the muck and forking the straw. Isn't it wonderful that we can enjoy the beauty of a barn without the work?
