Decaying Log Barn

Old barn door

Seen from the road - a dead end dirt road - this barn is on a cattle ranch that's still being used, although the barn is not...at least, I think it's not being used.

 View of the entire log barn

The metal roof is still good but some of the logs are decaying badly.

    I am always thrilled when I come across old structures like this. I especially like the top shot.

    Great view of the log barn. But here in Africa the wood wouldn't even get a chance to decay; it would be used as firewood! Have a great day. Jo

    You can see right through! Amazing though how these structures survive in so many years.

    I would have thought one big wind and the whole thing would have been down. Lovely old building to photograph though.

    It is a shame to see these old buildings left unused and falling apart, but I imagine the cost to repair it would be astronomical. Great for photos though. I bet lots of that wood could be recycled into other projects

    Phew...I don't think this poor thing would last through a big wind! I can't imagine what it would be used for at this point...maybe shelter for some farm animals.

    I love how blue the door looks in your first photo. That is exactly the colour I'd choose to paint the outside of my house if I didn't already live in a yellow brick condo

    I can't speak for the owner, but I could see the turmoil; if you need to use it you need to fix it up, but if you love the rustic look of it, it would be hard to do. Thanks for sharing!

    Cool, I love the grey patina of the old wood. I have a relative who owns and lives on a ranch in Idaho where their house and most of the barns and other outbuildings are made out of logs. They keep them up though.

    Great photos of the old barn. I wonder when it was built. It must have taken a lot of time and effort to build with logs like that.

    It's a pity that it is left dying. It actually doesn't look too old. I was thinking of himeless people in tge city. Why not put them there and start farming...but well, just a thought.
