Falling Apart/ Barn Charm

Past its best-before date

Sad, but it looks like the owner no longer has a use for this little barn.

I am linking to BARN CHARM at Trish's Bluff Area Daily.


24 friends stopped by to say:

I have a feeling that a barn like that in this country would be snapped up, 'renovated' and sold at an inflated price. Barn conversions have been big business here for years.

Andy said...

There are many like this one around. At least it's roped off.

Viola said...

Oh yeah.. falling apart, but still so charming! :)

Kathy said...

Jabblog, we wish! Of course where I live most of them are in very isolated areas, no electricity, no running water and smack dab in the middle of some farmer's pastureland!
Actually, this one with its walls still standing looks to be in pretty good shape. It will last a few more years. Oh, but I forget your harsh winters!

It's an old barn, but for sure has it's charming! Beautiful capture!

It's sad when they are falling apart like that but still I love the weathered wood and rusted roof.

Judy said...

Charming is the right word for it! My grandmother would have said that it is coming from together...

Friko said...

A very handsome bar, it certainly looks recyclable!

missing moments said...

Oh, would so love to salvage all that beautiful wood!

Mama Zen said...

Still beautiful to me!

Jacob said...

Lots of these old relics around...a good storm might finish this one off, but the actual structure is probably rather solid. "They" built things better in those days!

VioletSky said...

oh but I could find a use for that wood. I was just at a place that makes furniture out of old reclaimed wood - it is quite expensive, but so very lovely.

Debbie said...

oh this is lovely. i agree with reena....can i please have the wood!!!

Genie said...

Been there.....seen it....that is here in Rockbridge County...and if we don’t repair the hole in our tin roof, ours will be among these. I adore the old ones like this. Without our photos there would be no documentation as they fall to Mother Earth. This shot is wonderful. G

Lesley said...

That is curious that it is roped off...

Mari said...

It's a cute little barn, even in this condition!

Small City Scenes said...

Sweet little barn. MB

Kim, USA said...

That's pretty worn out barn. I think it's time for this barn to retire for good ^_^

Yep, it appears that way, so now it's just gonna sit & rot... it's sad, but I guess I'd rather the barns be left standing than the owners destroy them.

Great find, EG, thanks so much for joining =)

gigi said...

Sad but still full of "charm".

Beth said...

Is it 'fenced' off or is the fence to keep animals in the fence? It looks like an electric one, but I'm no expert.
It's too bad they've let this go--it certainly looks like it's given its all! :>)

Rose said...

It has definitely seen better days, but that just makes me like it more!

Jill Wellington said...

Barns have so much charm...especially this one!

Carole said...

One of those sad little buildings, but I'm glad you managed to photograph it before it's completely gone.
