At first I thought the columns were stacked slate, but upon a closer look it appears to be bent wood. Were you present and able to get a closer look? Or are they in fact silos? Very cool either way.
Hi Sharon — It really is strange. I know a barn expert/historian who works with the state, and I’ll see if she can provide some explanation for the odd silos.

Posted at 15:27h, 05 AprilHi Cedar,
I know! I’ve never seen another barn like this one. It doesn’t look like the barn is used much anymore, but it’s still in decent shape.

Yes, it’s bent wood. They look like silos, but I’m entirely sure. Like I told Cedar, I’ve never seen a barn like this one. It’s a beauty.

I meant to say I’m NOT entirely sure about the silos. I’m going to try an investigate this and try to learn more about the style of this barn.

Hi Larry. You’re right — it definitely has a spooky feel to it.
