An Old Barn Near Lupton

Posted on by Posted in Barns and Farms .

Another old barn I found on my travels thru the state, and this one was near Lupton. Like most of the other barns I have photographed, I know nothing about it’s history, other than at one time it was the pride of the family that built it to shelter their horses, or tractors, or whatever you put in a barn. I have been a city kid all my life, and I am not an expert on farming, other than without them I would not have much to eat.

The Little Round Roof Barn of Rosebush

Posted on by Posted in Barns and Farms .

I saw this little barn in the town of Rosebush, a few miles north of Mount Pleasant, and like so many other barns in the area, it has a round or arched roof. After searching google, I found some info about the round roofs at the National Trust For Historic Preservation.  The Round roof gained popularity in the 1920’s after WWI as it was found to have more room for storing hay and other items in the loft of the barn. The roof configuration is sometimes called Gothic, Gothic-Roof, Arched-Roof, or Rainbow-Roof.  After World War II barns with no sides were built with just an arched roof like a Quonset Hut.

The Old Barn Near Podunk

Podunk Barn gladwin michigan
I saw this old barn near what was once the town of Podunk north of Gladwin. It’s been a while since I posted a barn pic, I love old barns, even though I grew up in the city. I guess maybe it’s because I think the farmer’s friends and neighbors from the community got together to build it, I wonder if they called it “crowd-sourcing” back then.
