The other day I took a ride out to Riverhead to a Polish deli to buy some kielbasa for Christmas Eve dinner. Since I was out there and there was still some snow around, I looked for a scenic spot to sketch. I found this barn next to the Long Ireland Beer Company. I think barns shaped like this were/are used as potato barns, and Long Island was famous for growing potatoes. I'm not sure what it is being used for now but I sketched it anyway.
Joan this is an interesting barn. Wonder if it's roots are found in the arrival of the Irish coming to America? Hope you had a blessed Christmas and Jerry as well. Have a great day. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Debbie. I hope your Christmas was great and you enjoy the weekend.
DeleteWe don’t see too many of these barns near here. There are some on the plains, maybe used for something to do with cotton. Lovely sketch.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jo. I know the potato barns have a part that is below ground. This doesn't look like that is the case.
