Larry, It looks like that first chimney on the house has 2 windows right under it.
That seem strange to me.

I've been going past that house for my whole life and never noticed that.

Larry will have to check that out and report back to us! I bet the chimney is fake!

I was hoping you would see the pictures! How far from One lonely do you live?
Until last March, that barn was housing a prop rental company. It was a nice use of a large space, without ruining the interior. I don't think they were allowed to do much to change it. Certainly the exterior is a preserved structure.
I didn't have to deal with them too frequently, but it was always nice to go there, and get away from my concrete warehouse, and spend some time in a barn...

The spot that the second floor window is located in made me think of an offset chimney too.I know of a few of them around.They wanted the chimney to exit the roof at the center,that way rain would run away from it.With a chimney part way down the roof you have to deal with the rain running down against it,a hard place to keep sealed up before the times of tar,and modern roof cement.I've been thinking it could be an optical illusion too,and that chimney might be 6-8 feet from the edge.I don't think I've ever heard of a masonry chimney that didn't go all the way down to the earth.

With the exception of the flare on the eaves, the dormers, and the point at the ends over the hay track which there are some here. Most of the old cow barns are just like that. I believe it was to get more space in the roof for hay and straw or grain storage for winter feeding. The roof vents are rather scarce around here and were only on fancy barns here. We have probably one of the longest hip roof barns in the local area with it being about 90 feet long. The few that are around here like that dad always called sheep barns. I can't say if family in the past raised sheep or not. I never saw any here in the last 60 years. We had Dairy cows in it when the cows were here.
