Barns, barns, barns...just plain and simple BARNS!

    Barns come in all sizes and shapes. There are dutch barns, german barns, bank barns, single cribs, prairie and a few other barns.

I will try to identify some of the barns but a lot of the Oregon barns seem to defy common architectural styles. Some are small while others are pretty substantial. I will try to remember the area the barn was photographed but no guarantees that I can do it.

  

This is a Tillamook dairy barn.

The Obrist dairy farm in Tillamook called "Fairview Acres" has special meaning to Donna and I. Richard the owner, gave Donna, Riley (my grandson) and I a personal two day tour of the farm and all of its operations.

All around the Florence area were some wonderful looking barns. This one on the North Fork of the Siuslaw river was neat.

I stopped and talked to the owner of this barn, (also on the Siuslaw) and was told that his dad had built it many years ago.

Forget the house....I'll live in the barn!

This is now used as a chicken coop.

Great barn at Thistledown Farms.

Function above style for this horse barn.

Another animal barn style.

If I ever had piece of property that could hold a barn, it would be a red barn like this...south of Eugene.

Very organized looking.

Beautiful example of a gothic arch barn more commonly found in the upper midwest. This one was near a mennonite community in Harrisburg, Oregon

A good example of a Midwest 3-Portal Barn.

Our first round barn in Oregon.

The only age of this barn that I can find is that it was built in the 1900's. I was told by my wife that some of the round barns are that shape so the rancher can train his horses all winter long without going outside.

Near Horton, Oregon.

Three barn structures on one property near Junction City, Oregon. Our motorhome would fit nicely in the middle structure. 

Ok, now this is my kind of barn near Lorane, Oregon...well at least it may be affordable.

This barn seems to be on it's last legs, or footings as it were.

A barn...through another barn, pretty cool. (my wife noticed this)

Donna also found our first standing Octagonal barn (because we followed direction to another for a half a day before we found it was torn down a year earlier) in Hillsboro, Oregon that is now being used for all sorts of community affairs.

The 1910 octagonal barn is being very well preserved and is used for banquets and weddings.

As the days and miles add up, I may insert more barns if I find them to be unusual or interesting.
