South side of KY80 between Bradley's Pleasure Church and Flatwoods Road
This barn sits close against the highway.
In it's day, this barn was always black as a Crow's wing with those bright white doors.
Prior to the 1973 opening of The Cumberland Parkway, two miles South of here, this was THE way to travel.
I can remember as a child there being big motel advertisement signs on both ends of this landmark barn; the sign on the West end advertising a motel in Somerset and the East end a motel in Russell County, Dreamland, if I remember correctly.
If you look close, you can just make out where it said something on the long side of the barn facing the road.

The first three photos are taken from the East side looking West; the fourth photo, dated Wednesday_03-November-2021, is taken through the filthy glass of a fast-moving pickup from the West side looking East.

In that fourth photo, you can see a TV antenna; there is a stretch through this area where you can get excellent analog TV reception; there is even an "antenna guy" working from his home out in the country who sells, installs, and services the antennas.
Just a few miles in either direction and no matter the antenna nor how high the hill, you can't get anything.
