The evolution of an early barn
The red building in this print from John Barber's Historical Sketches of Massachusetts appears to be the small, post-and-beam barn that is now attached to the rear of our house. It was probably moved to its present location in the 19th century, when it housed a workshop, storage, and a privy. Since we built our garage in 1995, the barn now connects the house to the several barns behind.
