First is the farm house with a big wrap around porch built in 1930
A little out building
The barn built in 1938

Another photo of the barn with the silos
The whole looks of the place was changed New Years night when the barn burned to the ground. So sad. Thank God there were no cattle in the barn so no animals were hurt. They think is was an electrical fire that started in the haymow. I am so happy that I got these photos last summer.

Awww - I'm sad! I was thinking what an amazing barn and so well kept up. Glad you captured it before it was too late.
So sad to lose such a historic and pristine barn. Thankful that no lives were lost though.
Oh no...I was admiring all of the lovely pics and then read about the fire...thank goodness no animals were harmed. I am sure they will re-build a fine looking new barn, but what a loss.
wow, that is so sad. what a huge loss. i can only imagine. do you think it is the type of thing they will build again? i'm happy you had a chance to take pics when you did. ( :
So sad that that beautiful old barn burned.
Oh my goodness, that barn was amazing - I'm so sorry it burned down. It's a very good thing the animals are okay.
I was just thinking of how well the barn was kept up - they must have valued that building highly. I'm so sorry to read this.
How awful that it burned down; it looked like such a beautiful and well kept barn.
Oh my goodness, how sad that this beautiful barn is gone! I'm glad you have photos. What a loss this was for the family.
oh that is a loss to his family, a little part of history gone. Your photographs do it justice in its day Barb
So afraid of fire, especially in the wintertime. I wonder if the owners have photos as good as these of their barn? If not, but they'd like to have copies.
My mouth dropped open when I read it burnt down. I really want to cry for them. Such a sad loss.
It was a beautiful barn and those silos and their checkered trim are really unique.
Do they have plans to rebuild?
Oh my what a beautiful barn, I'm sorry that it burned down but so glad no animals were hurt.
So heartbreaking for your Dear Friends! I am glad that no animals were lost, though, and no people were hurt. It was a beautiful barn. How nice that you saved this beautiful photo. xx
Barb! O my gosh, yes! Those are masterful photos and now priceless. You are so lucky.

It is always devastating to loose a barn to fire. Glad no one was hurt!
Nooo, I'm sooo very sorry! I'm glad no animals were inside, too. Will they rebuild? If they're farming the land, they'll have to, right? Keep us posted.
Thank you for joining =)
ps such a shame that such a beautiful, well cared for place has to burn down. awful
What a heartbreaker. I cannot imagine our barn burning. It would be so devastating. Hope they will be able to rebuild. Your pictures of all the structures are wonderful. My heart is heavy for all of you touched by this tragedy. genie
It was such a beautiful barn! It breaks my heart to know that it was burned down. Such a tragedy! But good thing no one was hurt.
So sad but it is good no one was hurt.
How un-fortunate, and sad for the family.
What a blessing that no persons, nor animals were harmed.
Hope that they are able to re-build.
They have a lovely farm, and I adore that Farmhouse :)
So sad indeed. My paternal grandparents entire farm...barns, silos, house burned to the ground by an arsonist. The arsonist was the owner who purchased the property after my gramma died..to get the insurance money, cause he cold not afford it. Glad you were able to take the pics. Janice
Beautiful farm! How wonderful that it was able to be in the family for so long.
SO sad....It's a blessing nobody was hurt.
That barn has sure been taken care off. It looks practically new!
Wow, those are beautiful.
So sad. . . the barn was so beautiful. . .Glad you got shots of it! Glad to hear no one was hurt.
Oh, no! So sad to lose this beautiful barn. But so glad no animals or humans were hurt. Your photos are great, Barb. What a special place your friend has. I wonder if they will rebuild the barn.
Oh no. Barb. That is awful. I was just thinking what a gorgeous and well maintained barn that was. So glad you were able to get photos while it was still there and that no animals were lost. Must have been really hard for your friends.
Hugs,
Laura
Barb! Yes! What name do you want to name your camera? Yes, name it.
Thanks for your kind words, too. It has been the gutsiest thing I have done. (to put myself on my blog in my deals) Whew. Still a bit scary.
Hi Barb, Thanks so much for stopping in at Cranberry Morning! I am so sad to hear about the loss of the barn. They must have been just sick over it. But I am glad no cattle were in it.
That front porch is exactly what I am looking for as we are thinking of adding a front porch to our house later in the year. That's a beauty.
P.S. I'm your newest follower! :-)
What a sad tale. The barn was a beauty!
soooo sad, what a beautiful place! the farm owners must be heartbroken.
an important reminder to get the picture when you can!!
what a beautiful barn! that is too bad...
I love your barn photos..I wrote a post today about becoming more aware of things in life and it was your barn photos that made me aware of all those barns we would just pass by without ever noticing. now everyone in the car looks at barns.
Lindos silos e celeiros! beijos,tudo de bom,chica
What a tragic loss. Your friends' children must be devastated. This is not a time when farmers can afford such loses!
But I have to tell you, those Silos are pretty darn spectacular!
The barn is beautiful, I love that it's red. I grew up with a giant green barn I always wanted a red one! Beautiful land!
Beautiful old buildings, it is so nice to see that they are taken care of.
Happy Holidays to you from me Marit.
And thanks for all the good comments you give me.
Barb, how sad! It was a beautiful barn. Fires are so scary to me, I am glad that no animals were hurt.
So idyllic, it was such a beautiful history filled family treasure. So sad.
