Barns of the Midwest


Book Description

Explores the architecture, history, social significance and context, and function of perhaps the most ubiquitous features of the Midwestern US landscape and perhaps the most potent symbol of rural life. The 15 essays consider survivals of early log-crib barns, the Germanic roots, dairy and tobacco barns, cost and development, extensions such as grain elevators, nonorthogonal plans, the modern barn, decor, and preservation.
