I love this barn, because it still has evidence of the advertising painted on the end facing the road. And because the advertising is for tobacco - something that is no longer legal to promote in this country, even on the side of your own barn.

| Maybe they were thinking, "Let's document the documentarian." Or maybe they were bored with stopping to let Big Daddy get another shot of another barn. |
Barn Charm 85
Be sure to stop by there for some great shots of more charming barns.
This is a charming old barn! I agree that it looks as if a strong wind could bring it down. It's sad to see these old work horses left to fall down. Love the last photo with the photographer in it!
ReplyDeleteA truly beautiful piece of American history. It doesn't get any better than this!
ReplyDeleteWow, cool barn find!
ReplyDeleteI love these old barns that used to advertise on them, sometimes I can find a few around here.
ReplyDeleteThat's one big ol barn & I love the fading ad... it sure makes for great photo subject, doesn't it! You say you're sorting pics for a very special barn post? Looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteThanks a million to you & your helpers for taking the time to shoot some beautiful barns!!! =)
Great barn...looks like it's on the water, which could deteriorate it more quickly. We don't have many like that down here.
ReplyDeletei love the last shot! too cute! at least they had a bit of fun. :) and that's a great barn to share, so thanks to them!
ReplyDeleteoooohhhh big daddy is so sweet!! I like the barn, I wonder if this could be considered cheating as you did not participate at all!!! hehe.....I'm just jealous, very cool find!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the barn - Big Daddy is pretty cool too! lol
ReplyDeleteAn amazing piece of historical America. Glad you were able to preserve it with a picture, Charade. :o)
ReplyDeletewhat a beauty!!! I love old barns - we have quite a few around here - but I'm a little embarrassed to get out of my car and take a picture like a city gawker :) - this is a small town and you just don't want to make the wrong impression - ya know? (grin)
ReplyDeleteIt looks so wonderful and cool capture! I wish it withstand as a long standing history.
ReplyDeleteI see you overcame PROcrastination and posted a very charming barn! And what a good Hubby to get those snaps! I hope the winds don't take her down! I am hoping I can overcome PROcrastination today and get to the kinda Big City and get a new birdbath!
ReplyDeleteI would have to but Big Daddy to work more often. This is great stuff he brought home. I applaud his good work.
ReplyDeleteI love old barns, and old advertising, and here they are together. I wonder how old this one is.
