Well maintained barn with gorgeous rock foundation.
This huge, structurally sound barn has clearly been well maintained since it’s origin in 1911. I see a lot of barns and there are no weak spots here. The windows, the siding, the roof and of course that fantastic stone foundation are all up to date. It’s quite rare to see stonework like that on an old barn. I can only speculate how expansive and solidly built the interior of this barn is as well. It can be found on Valley Falls Rd., in Vernon CT. Photographed with a Nikon D7100 and a Tokina AT-X-11-20 F2.8 zoom lens set at 16mm (35mm equiv.= 24mm). 1/80th, f11, ISO 100, Aperture Priority

Nicely postured barn.
This barn is only about 20′ or so from Maple Ave. which is a fairly busy street. I think whoever built it had a wonderful design. It looks large and grand, with it’s tall walls, while at the same time is not overpowering for being a “neighborhood” barn. This is now the 2nd time I’ve seen a flat stone foundation like this in Shelton and that isn’t typical in general. I have to tell you I’m a big fan. The adjoining stone wall ties everything in so beautifully. I think the foliage also helps downplay it’s size. The cupola is gorgeous and different from what I’m used to seeing in…
