Description
Nice red barn sits stark in the bare fields that surround it. The fields have been harvested and prepared for winter. Beautiful ristic or country decor wall art.
( In the beginning: American barn styles
Early in American history, basically three barn styles were used: the Pennsylvania Dutch, Jamestown colonists barns, and barns of New England, such as the saltbox. Differences resulted from availability of building materials and individual builders� quirks.
Some barns were built for specific purposes: horse breeding, dairy farming, cattle feeding, drying tobacco and livery barns. As the westward migration gained strength, barns in the Midwest and West developed their own style. Although they echoed Eastern styles, the Western barn, Prairie barns and Pennsylvania Standard reflected the rancher�s different needs.
Added to those were unique entries, such as the variant of the Pennsylvania standard called the �Yankee version� and the round barn.)
