Back in December of 2012, I came across a dilapidated barn in rural Marion County. Other than its condition, I absolutely loved the barn and its location. About a month ago, I took a small trip to get a new picture of the barn. Unfortunately, I could not locate it even though I knew I was on the right road and on the right section. After using the "street view" on Google Maps, I have come to realize that it was torn down prior to June 2013. This let down has led me to realize that the aging structures of last century will not be around much longer even if they are well maintained, and therefore piqued my interest to get pictures of these structures before they are gone forever. Aside from old barns, dated bridges are also an interest for me.
Below is the picture I took back in 2012, while the second one down was what Google Street View shows--notice the cluster of four trees on the left side. All that is left of the barn by June 2013 was a pile of wood and rubble. I find it a little sad to see a barn disappear in less than a year when it might have been in the same family for several generations.
