Beautifully maintained barn in Newtown CT

As I was barn searching along South Main St. on the outskirts of Newtown CT I was struck by the stellar condition of this very old barn.  The property owners had maintained this in such a manner that it is not only gorgeous but will last for many more years to come.

As I was across the street taking shots of the barn I caught the attention of the Lady of the house.  She approached me wondering what I was up to. I’m always fully transparent and told her about my passion for barns and this website.  She advised me that her husband was going to be home in a matter of minutes and asked me if I wanted to see the inside of the barn.  Without her husband there I was reluctant but she insisted.  So I identified myself fully and she allowed me to go inside and take some photographs while she waited in the yard. I went upstairs and took the (2) upstairs shots you see and then took a quick picture of the flag against the wall downstairs.  I felt somewhat self conscious walking around the garage as a complete stranger so I was in and out in two minutes.  I didn’t want to push it.  Just as I was coming out of the barn her husband arrived and I introduced myself to him as well. They were both extremely nice people and kind enough to share this barn with me. They had tremendous pride in it and rightfully should!
