The Horse Barn

Our photo club took advantage of an open house at the historical Marie Zimmerman farm on Saturday. The property is really beautiful and of course I found lots of interesting things to take pictures of, but before I show you all those shots of rust and broken windows that you know I love to take I thought I'd show you one of the buildings.

Stones like these were also used in building the house and they're quite beautiful. I wish I'd brought my wide-angle lens for this structure as it is actually in two parts- this part is where the horses were housed and the other part, mostly wood, was used for chickens and assorted farm machinery. It's a massive structure that I couldn't capture with my small lens!

Beautiful stone structure

Excellent capture of this stone building. Love the patterns and textures. I had to Google to find out about Marie Zimmerman, she sounds like she was a most interesting person.

A nice vintage view of this vintage building.

@kjarn Thanks Kathy! I thought so too.

[Harry J Benson]

good texture, scene, and framing

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@hjbenson Thanks Harry!

[Shanne]

fantastic looking building - it's a interesting mix to my eyes as the building shape and doors read stable, but those huge stones read stately home or church

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@shannejw yes, I can see what you mean! The house, which is not too far down the road from the barn is made out of the same stone. I believe they were all dug up right from the land. The soil here is very rocky. Thanks Shanne!
