West KY Hwy 80 - Nancy - Pulaski County - Kentucky Saturday_17-June-2023 KY80W_Barn #M84.869421  - --- -  This barn needs a little help. North side of KY80 between Bradley's Pleasure Church and Flatwoods Road 37.131227°N 84.869421°W 357.5304 1,173'  I believe that is a Suzuki Samarai sitting there in the driveway; a few years ago, those things were prevalent around here with about 50% of the driving public owning one; they would convoy on weekends to various offroad trail places, as many as thirty or forty of them together --- all in Suzuki Samarais; now, they are as rare as hens teeth.

West KY Hwy 80 - Nancy - Pulaski County - Kentucky Saturday_17-June-2023 KY80W_Barn #M84.872146  - --- -  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. 37.129860°N 84.872146°W 353.568 m 1,160' 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.

West KY Hwy 80 - Nancy - Pulaski County - Kentucky Saturday_17-June-2023 KY80W_Barn #M84.873791  South side of KY80 between Bradley's Pleasure Church and Flatwoods Road Those overhead doors have been on that barn since I was a very small child. I was always told that the guy who owned Somerset Overhead Door owned that barn/farm. Such doors are impractical on a livestock barn; cattle would soon have them warped all out of shape. Note that this barn has underground electrical service which is highly unusual even for a house in Kentucky. 37.129052°N 84.873791°W 356.616 m 1,170'

The sad reality is if you're not using it, livestock, storage, whatever, they are just an expense. It costs real money to maintain buildings and if they are not paying back in some way, people just let them go. Humans are a lot like hydraulics! The path of least resistance. I've got some old buildings here that aren't in great shape but still have stuff stored in them. Need to figure something out as they will need to start coming down at some point.

Merchant Street - Columbia - Adair County - Kentucky Thursday_10-August-2023 The Big Blue Barn https://ibb.co/Z16fHxGC" rel="nofollow">  Standing just as plumb and square as the day she was built. This barn was wood boxed and then the wood covered with old-style corrugated metal barn roofing. Why on earth would somebody paint a barn blue ? The later additions don't improve upon the appearance; she would look better if all that were gone. I am sure this big barn has historical significance and I intend to find out. The huge Columbia City Cemetery is immediately behind the barn. Merchant Street and the Columbia Fire Department are in the foreground. Check out Satellite View at these coordinates: 37.104851° 85.305111° 230.7336 m 757' Check out Street View as well. https://ibb.co/ynTPg4N8" rel="nofollow">

Where I grew up, 90%-95% of farm buildings were painted either white or red. In our particular little neighborhood, there was one farm that all buildings were a grayish-blue, that farm as long as can remember, the owner did not raise any livestock, and rented out the cropland. ------------- I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science. |

. I see you are tooling around on a tractor for the photos. Maybe throw a tractor picture up? Those were some wonderful barns back in their day. Farmers proud to get them up and expand on many of them. . |

KY Hwy 80 East - Windsor - Casey County - Kentucky Photo Taken through the Glass of a Moving Vehicle Saturday_26-April-2014 Red Barn and Green River Knob https://ibb.co/MkSFtRwG" rel="nofollow">  North side of KY80 - 2/10-mile West of the Pulaski County Line 37.129108°N 84.885581°W Elevation 1,153' In 2014, this barn looks new; in 2024 Satellite view and Street View, it looks sixty-years old. From this barn to the pinnacle of Green River Knob is 2.82-miles at a heading of 53.14°. Green River Knob, in the background, dominates everything within several counties and can be seen from almost anywhere one might be. Cumberland Plateau 13th highest in the state. Elev. 1,817' (some sources say 1,789') West side of KY 837 - South of Mintonville - Barely inside the Casey County Line adjacent to Pulaski County 37.153407°N 84.844948°W In Harlan County, Black Mountain is the highest in Kentucky at 4,139' or 4,145' depending on where you are looking. However, although it is much higher, Black Mountain is surrounded by peaks that are almost as high as it is and therefore is not quite so visible from afar like Green River Knob is.

| It seems the standard color for barns was either red or white. In our neighborhood in eastern Kansas, most old style barns had a Star painted on the front. I have a Barn book with different photos of various barns across Kansas, including round barns. Most barns were built to serve a purpose , being livestock and hay. I have seen barns with the loft taken area and filled with large round bales, which adapted them to still be used today. Sadly though, some barns have outlived their usefullness as most doors were only so wide and you can't even drive a modern vehicle in them or store today's modern farm equipment so in turn they have gone into disrepair, fallen down, or been torn down. The landscape scene of rural America has definitely changed |

Saturday_25-October-2025 The Dravo Tarter North Barn and Silo Now the J.R.McGowan Registered Polled Hereford Farm There were miles of white plank fence around this place, always freshly painted and in good repair; real White Oak planks; none of that ridiculous eyesore white plastic fencing. The Lichen-covered plank in the foreground is one of the few remnants of those beautiful fences. https://ibb.co/tMR6Fg5L" rel="nofollow">  US Hwy 127 North - Russell Springs - Russell County - Kentucky https://ibb.co/2055yZdb" rel="nofollow">  37° 5'33.58" North Parallel 85° 3'56.10" West Meridian 1,032' Above Sea Level https://ibb.co/d4fgB3x4" rel="nofollow">

Saturday_25-October-2025 The J.R.McGowan Registered Polled Hereford Farm - Established 1968 https://ibb.co/fz7R3N7N" rel="nofollow">  Bulls For Sale Established in 1933 as a Hereford Cattle Farm by Dravo Tarter(1918-2007), son of Dr. James Ballenger Tarter(1881-1965) https://ibb.co/vCrZWtTf" rel="nofollow">  "The Block Barn" - the white barn - is where J.R. kept his main herd sire, along with his horses and show cattle. There were miles of white plank fence around this place, always freshly painted and in good repair; real White Oak planks; none of that ridiculous eyesore white plastic fencing. Once a year, after I was old enough to drive, I would take his main herd bull to the stockyards, put him on the Fairbanks & Morse, and catch his weight, keeping the weight a secret. You had better have a good White Oak floor in the trailer; else, he would fall through; brand-new treated Pine wouldn't hold him. Whichever bull it may be at the time, he always weighed over a ton, which was huge back in those days, bigger by far than anything around here; although now, it is not uncommon to have a big Charolais weighing 3,600- to 3,800-lbs. Once the weight was caught, they would brush and clip and clean him up; and, with a fancy Silver-mounted show halter and polished ring in his nose, Ab Kerns, the shortest man we knew, would hold his lead shank while a professional photographer would take his picture. The Times Journal would run a full page with the bull's picture and the instructions to drop by the newspaper office and place your best guess as to the bull's weight; you were of course encouraged to drop by the farm and see the bull before you made your guess. The person with the closest guess would win a steak dinner for two, with all the trimmings, from the Western Sizzlin' Steak House; and, I think, a cash prize; five big hunnert-dollar bills if I remember correctly. J.R. was doing this for years before we had a Western Sizzlin'(which, alas, we haven't had for years now; ever since Union Underwear sent all the jobs to Mexico and put all those thousands of women in the unemployment line, Western Sizzlin' wasn't the only thing we lost.); I don't remember where the steak dinners for two were from prior to that.

Saturday_26-July-2025 As Seen at Moreland Siding - CNO&TP Milepost 126.6 Three Barns on Railroad Street https://ibb.co/pj67nHxX" rel="nofollow">  There are three long barns in this cluster; the longest(at right) being 138'. The orange device in the foreground of the first photo is a Derail; using a standard track switch lever, it can be engaged or disengaged. It's purpose is to protect both sides from runaway rail cars. When engaged, any rail-car contacting the Derail is derailed so that it cannot proceed any farther. As with any long-distance photo, photographic compression is deceiving; the camera is 2/10-mile(335-yards) from the barns; the Water Street "Stop" sign seems to be very close to the barns; when, in fact, there are two separate pastures and exactly 1/10th of a mile(170-yards) between the Stop sign and the barns. The High Iron across the mid-ground is Norfolk Southern's 337-mile Cincinnati, New Orleans, & Texas Pacific Railway Photo RIGHT = North to Cincinnati__127 Miles Photo LEFT = South to Chattanooga__210 Miles The camera (me) is on the East side of the tracks. https://ibb.co/7tZdppcW" rel="nofollow">  CNO&TP Moreland Siding - Moreland - Lincoln County - Kentucky 37° 30' 12.14" North Parallel 84° 48' 55.99" West Meridian 1,092' Above Sea Level
