Wow, that is one nice old building.

That's really neat. I need a building like that to cover my whole little pasture.

Love old buildings. Thanks for the pic.

I'd love to see the inside of that thing.

 

[Tuffoldhen]

Me too!! All the doors had padlocks on them and the people that own the property now were not at home, so maybe I can catch someone down around there soon and take pics.

The big windows in front still have the good wire cloth on them and then partly covered with plywood on the bottoms.

It is fun to look at old buildings like that and dream of the good old days, and the simple life. Nice, very nice. I am glad you shared that story.

I know the feeling. You know what they say about never going home again. The people who own my great grandparents farm are very nice people and they keep the place in nice shape. However...they change things. We had two huge buildings one had pigs in the bottom and chicken in the second story. It housed hundreds of chickens. They have torn it down. The other coop they have converted into a drive-in shed for their equipment. So sad for me. They raise Naked Necks and OEG. Sweet people just not the same.

My grandparents sold their place when they became too old to manage it and now there is a big YELLOW apartment complex on it!

Buster~ That happened to my grandparents little farm, it's a housing development. I can't stand to go past it.

That's so cool.
I get depressed when I think about my SO taking the two commercial houses down a few years ago.
Oh the chickens I could have had in those things!
