| Description: |
A reference guide to barns and other rural structures, this book explains the difference between Dutch and Swedish barns, for example, and those designed for animals or crops. It details their peculiar construction methods and architectural styles, as well as pinpointing their geographic location. |
| Synopsis: |
Barns give character to the countryside. Their structures reflect the ethnic heritage of a region's settlers and the nature of the land itself. With The Old Barn Book , you'll be able to spot the difference between a Dutch barn and a Swedish barn, a barn for cows and a barn for tobacco. You'll find out why some barns have hipped roofs and others gables, why some have doors at the end and others have them on the side, why some are wood and some are stone, why some are round. Whether you are nostalgic for farm life or like to drive out in the country or want to join in the barn preservation movement, you will find this book an indispensable guide. |
