    Beautiful old aging barn in Southbury

    To me this barn is very striking.  It appears to sit abandoned in the middle of the woods with no lead in road or path.  Father time is having it’s way as the foliage creeps in around it and the paint fades.  Two things I found unique.  There is about 6′ overhang on the side nearest the viewer.  You don’t…

    While Cheryl and I were on the hunt for barns in Southbury we stumbled upon this old gem. Which, of course, isn’t a barn.  I thought, at first, that it was some type of meeting house back in the day.  I wasn’t able to find anything on the internet about it so I reached out to the Southbury Historical Society.  Their…

There are beautiful homes up and down this street and no commerical or retail…

    A Return visit to Brooksvale (Park) Farm….more pics.

    Brooksvale Park Farm, 524 Brooksvale Ave, Hamden, CT 06518 Cheryl and I initially visited these barns/farm to take this picture: The Barn at Brooksvale Park – Journey Thru My Lens (journeysthrumylens.com) .  I returned a couple of weeks later and spent some time walking around the farm taking more images. I believe these barns were constructed by the Brooks family in the 1700’s.…
