The Crow - Hi Martha. I had a look at Google Images and found this. It was the nearest to my effort. I hope this works - not sure if you can use a link to Dropbox in Blogger Comments. If it doesn't work you could copy and paste it into your browser..
I'm impressed! Didn't think there were any deluxe tobacco barns (sheds, really, I guess) left in the South. During the Depression, my mother's parents and siblings had to live in a corncrib for several months before her father found steady work and decent housing. I think they'd have been thrilled to have that Dillon County barn for shelter. (Thanks for finding that.)
Still prefer your barn. I like especially the colors you used for the sheet metal siding; very realistic.
In the Deep South, where I was born, we have tobacco sheds that look very much like this one, except yours is in better shape.
ReplyDeleteNice work, Conrad.
Martha
Very nice, Conrad. I'm impressed.
