Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though few and far between in the agricultural landscape of Minnesota, round barns never fail to catch the eye whenever they arise from the fields and farms that blanket the state. They beg the question, "Who built this barn, and why?" For some, the question of "How was this barn built?" also springs to mind. With beautiful color photographs and exhaustive research into the history, ownership, buliding techniques, and purposes of these architectural marvels, John Roscoe takes us on a county by county road trip across the prairies, fields, and forests of Minnesota, documenting all 54 known round barns in the state and shedding light on a bit of our agricultural legacy.

Book excerpt: Minnesota's barns are remarkable testaments to a midwestern way of life, one centered on the land, work, family, ingenuity, and perseverance. Many think of barns as breathtaking landmarks along the byways. Others have their favorite barns--the well-kept, red dairy barn near St. Cloud, the faded horse barn on the way to Faribault. Still others know these structures more intimately: barns are as integral to their lives as family and home. In Barns of Minnesota, photographer Doug Ohman showcases the vast array of these exceptional landmarks, built by hand in wood, stone, brick, or metal and dating back as far as 1880. Where Ohman's photographs capture the beauty of the barn from the outside in, Will Weaver's evocative story illuminates the life of the barn from the inside out. Readers witness the making and breaking of one barn as it plays into the life and sustenance of several generations of one family who settled the land in 1922 and who farmed into the age of agribusiness. Seventy-five stunning color photographs accompanied by Weaver's moving story uplift these beautiful buildings and a way of life on the land that is as strong and proud, as fragile and humble, as the barns among us.

Download or read book Round Barns of New York written by Richard Triumpho and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2004-05-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book begins with an intriguing overview of the first five round barns built across America, including one in New York State. Elliott Stewart, who built the first octagon barn in the Empire State in 1874, is revealed to be a passionate original whose vigorous editorial campaign led to the construction of a dozen such barns. The author next introduces John McArthur who constructed a polygonal (sixteen-sided, double octagon) barn so huge it was the biggest in the state and second largest in the nation! Case histories document five other singular New York barns of varying configurations. Abundant photos make these bygone barns spring to life. Floor plans of the earliest barns show why the round shape engaged farmers at the turn of the century. The book also explains why true-round barns, born of silos, surpassed octagon barns in popularity. A special section on seven true-round barns in New York offers historical data and rare anecdotes by present owners.
