For the barns that are still standing you can see have they have been modified over time to fit the need. The big white barn on the farm I grew up on changed over time from a full barn, to a mail parlor barn and finally a grain storage. When you zoom in close you can still see the carriage on the track used to haul hay into the mow. It looks as if the barn doors to the alleyway were closed off at some point. A lot of things have happen in this red block barn over the years. Also missing is all the fencing and other outbuildings as it has been overtaken by crop planting.
