The footprint of this barn is rare. We do not come across many that are square. We love the dimensionality of this structure with its multiple internal posts, and the great potential for a loft at one or both ends of the building. The exceptionally tall posts also help to give headroom for lofts. The patina on the softwood timbers is exceptional.
