“…how all of the older style silos have the checkerboard pattern at the top. “ – Great observation, Sally. Now I wonder if it does has a purpose, or it's just a mere design to make it more attractive. Also, I like how old barns have round roofs, because most of the barns that I saw these days has the same triangular shape roof which makes them look too plain. These barns look unique and more appealing, in my opinion.
Good questions, Paul! I think the rounded barns are fairly typical for this area of the country. Maybe it helps to shed the snow better. I imagine the checkerboard patterns on the silo are decorative rather than functional.
sweet barns! love the one with the little mini addition on the side. :)
