A red relic

This wooden barn must have a long history in Eagan. A church, pre-school and residential neighborhood have long ago replaced its surrounding farm. See other charming Barns at Tricia's Bluff Area daily photo.

I'm glad it is still standing. What would America be without her old red barns.

It's not only a relic but an historic image of a bygone era. It's a beauty!

Red barns are my favorite!
It seems to have withstood the test of time and with continued maintenance it should be around awhile. I hope it isn't torn down to 'make room'.

I don't think that barn was originally there. I think the church moved it there.

I see a lot of changes in our rural landscape. I just so hope that they preserved these barns. Happy Tuesday!

This photo reminds me actually a lot of Steffe's photos in Haninge. We're having an 'extremely' cold spell here right now. Temperatures are going down and down and down, to minus...1 C (30F) at night. This is Spain for you.

It is pretty classic, Leif.

Oh, I like it..I wonder about the openings up above. Wondering whey they are totally open and don't have a window.

What a great looking barn. I see it's future as an art studio. One can dream.

Love that snow drifted up against the side, too. It's such a great photo.

When «Louis» saw the title "red relic", he thought you were referring to one of the many old communists still to be found in The People's Republic of Berserkeley....

Perhaps now can be used only for snow ball wars and give joy to the children of the town.

Great colour to contrast with the snow.
