S.E. Iowa | Fron the looks of it ,you may have a Louden design Fairfield Iowa hog or more likely a Dairy or cattle barn. The windows in it look to be the Louden design. These old barns are getting fewer and farther apart every day. They are an inportant part of ag history and really maked the first stages of modern farming. We have a Louden farrowing house built like you barn with a hip roof design. Interior construction is almost identical to yours. Since it has only a 11 ft wide 8ft high door opening on each end, we hope to rise the interior by eliminating the center of the loft floor and make a new door that will maintain the original look from the outside but allow us to park tractors , hay racks, gravity wagons ect when the weather calls for it. I kind of feel that as rare as these buildings are getting I think its important to maintain the outward appearence if possible while still keeping them useful. | |
