Awww, these are heartbreaking... but it's been the fate of many old barns and silos.

Better get that barn shingled or it won't last long.

Spose it's economics. Back when a new steel roof was around 10K, it was thought it couldn't be afforded.
A big building like that would be golden for storage, workshops etc.
Striking pics. Thank you Mr Not.

A not uncommon sight here in central NY. Although that's an interesting collection with the road tractor appearing abandoned as well as the barn. I've taken down two barns. One before it fell in, and the other one after. Now I've got a third starting to fall in. So it's a question as to whether it or I last longer! I would have cleaned it up by now but my wife doesn't want to see it go. Now I'm recalling several smaller structures I've cleaned up. Three chicken houses on three different properties. On a neighboring farm I used to rent the owner cleaned up one barn. Now the remaining one is looking pretty rough. On another farm I still rent there's a small collapsed barn. It's too close to others to burn, and they're not going to pay to have it cleaned up. So it is everywhere!
Once again, thanks for the pictures.

This is a sad reminder that even when things are built strong, neglect will take it's toll. I suspect the original owners had a difficult life. Causes one to realize how much we take for granted I think.

That is sad, reclaim timber or maybe too far gone.

So sad, A very majestic barn in it's day.
