Also known as banked barns, they are barns built into sloped landscapes to allow for easy access on two levels. This particular bank barn lives in Bossy’s neighborhood.
Love it. I did not know that was the name of this design but we are learning because we are in the process of having a pole barn built. So much rich aritecture even in barns.
That is one sweet barn. I love the stone. It has the advantage of not rotting and falling over like all the wooden ones around here. There will be very few old barns left in this area in 20 years.
