Upper Dairy Barn

circa 1910
This was the showpiece of a country gentleman’s farm.  It was built to replace the 1880s barn that burned on September 28, 1906 due to a case of arson which is still unsolved.  The upper barn was used for storing hay and grinding grains into animal feed.  By the 1950s, a pipe was added to the outside of the dairy barn so that bulk feed from a tanker could be pumped directly into the barn.
