This property recently lost its farmhouse, which honestly needed to come down. However this barn is still in good shape and continues to be a useful structure in the annual crop production. This barn is located on the old Lincoln Highway halfway between Cedar Rapids and Mount Vernon, Iowa. As such the land may be sold off for residential properties one day as the cities grow toward each other. For now we can still admire the barn and land as they have existed for years.

I just hope that they will preserve the barn given the chance that someday this place will become residential. Beautiful shot!

ReplyDeleteI hope they cut those trees down soon...it is a wonderful barn and needs to be taken care of.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope there's not a big hurry to turn this land into MacMansion plots. We still need to see this in our rural landscapes.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful barn and great lighting! Hopefully it'll be around for a good while yet.
