Carol, when I read your narrative, you even can't provide us with an answer. It's a pity that this characteristic barn is no longer used. It's future is indefinite. Demolition cannot be ruled out. In that case, we have your beautiful photograph for a little comfort.
If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins!

It's so sad to see these barns no longer in use and I suspect that eventually this barn will also disappear from the rural landscape - Great Capture and Editing Carol!!!!!!!!
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Another great tribute capture, Carol, for those individuals throughout our history who have the stamina and determination to do some of the hardest work there is. I had to zoom in and out several times to determine that what I was seeing in one spot in particular, wasn*t actually there. In the left end of the small structure is a black rectangle that I assume is a wall of the slightly smaller add-on to the outbuilding on the right. Perhaps the wall was originally painted white and lost most of it to weather? What I immediately saw, the first, second, and third time I looked, that tall triangular white shape in the black looked, for all the world, like a brunette woman wearing a white dress, a long-sleeved black jacket, and a wide black belt, all in a style that would have been popular in the 1880s or 1890s.
Perhaps she is the ghost of a woman who lived here when the farmstead was built? Perhaps she is a period character who took a break from the Chautauqua fair on the other side of the barn? Perhaps my 3 hours of sleep last night simply was not enough?
If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
