Description
This collage adds the farm house, circa 1865, and a closer look at the horse barn first seen in yesterday's posting, Afternoon Shadows
No, your eyes are not playing tricks on you, the barn has assumed a very jaunty tilt on its' south end. The barn construction is post and beam type construction. Many old barns suffered from foundation problems and this barn is no exception. However, thanks to the type of heavy timber frame construction, a barn like this can stand for many, many years with a tilt and still be perfectly usable.
This house and barn are still equiped with fully functional lightening rods up on their roofs.
Since this subject is proving to be popular, I'll continue to scout out more Kansas barns in the future. I might even slip east across the river into Missouri for a few:)
Thanks for stopping by and for all your comments and favorites.
Bill :)

wonderful shots, and great to see the contrast between the house & the barn; and that second shot of the barn is a total surprise—even though I know those things can sway a lot over the years. It shows how sturdy they are, and what spirit they convey. I love the barns here & in Lynell's gallery. If there are other collections here, I'll have to scout them. And the house has a stately 19th C. feel, painted to blend right into the environment. Very nice work once more: giving us views of the many faces of these old & wonderful structures...
