DESIGN The early American pioneers brought with them a barn design inherited from the first colonists. An average English barn measured thirty Feet by forty feet and had a large double wagon door on its lateral side and unpainted vertical boards covering the walls. English barns were normally without a Basement and stood on level ground. The interior of the barns were characterized by a center driveway which acted as a threshing floor, similar to the breezeway of a Crib Barn . The double doors generally opened onto the center drive which divided the building into two separate areas, one for hay and grain storage and the other for livestock. REFERENCES |
