Larry that is a great old barn. They are getting rare not only in NJ. They are being torn down here in the Midwest at an alarming rate. As the farms have grew bigger many entire farm steads are being torn out to grow a few more acres of crops.
It just happened to the west of me. Nice set of well maintained buildings on a 250 acre farm. A local BTO bought the farm for $14,000 per acre last year. HE tore out the entire set of buildings including the house. Nothing saved either. Everything pushed into a hole and burnt/buried. HE trashed a 100 year old set of buildings for no good reason.
HE was offered $200K for the buildings and 5 acres of ground. He did not want any neighbors telling him how to do anything on the farm. So his solution was to just tear it all down.

Well it sure didn't take me long to figure out what it was because I alrea
