We still have quite a few around here in benton county MN. Near Duelm there are a couple of the old round barn with the silos in the center. Remember feeding a neihbors pigs in the quite often, my uncle rented all the land on them also. The farm my mother grew up on still has the original barn on it, cedar shakes and all. Not sure how old it is, but is must be 100 years. Timbers are nice and solid, roof is good as far as I know.

I miss the good and hard times there. I really need to get over there and take some pics for the future. Most building are up yet except the old pig barn, the grainery, and a corn crib.
