Great pic, Teri. It’s a wonder that so much of its timbers are still there. So many old barns are stripped for their boards. Was an occupied farmhouse nearby? That’s about the only way a barn will escape the forages.

Why are the boards taken? There was another building near the main road but not sure if it was just a storage area or what. They were built to last back then.

Depending on their condition, the boards can be used as paneling for a wall, shelving, ceiling beams, you name it. It can be a problem for the landowners, as “good” boards are stolen further weakening the structure.

If walls could talk! I love these old buildings. I took a ton of photos of an old cabin while camped in Cottonwood AZ. I wondered who lived there? How long? DYI….old boards are used to make furniture or decorative decor……it adds a sense of history/old west character to a new structure. Very common in CO and AZ. Goes well with an antler chandelier. Yes they use antlers for light fixtures and other decor. Certainly not something we see in the midwest!

Since posting this I have learned about where some of these barns missing bits may have gone to. Antler lighting? Nahhhhhhhh LOL

This is my favorite sort of photography.. there are several old farms and outbuildings here that are in decline (in BC) and I was hoping to have time to jaunt around and do photos. This is a beautiful one, Teri!

Thank you! We can jaunt around and take photos of the building in your area providing we have a thermos of something to keep us warm
