The Barns at Northern State Hospital

Taken from the pastureland to the north of the barns, this view looks back at the main complex of barns on the 400 acre farm that once supplied Northern Sate Hospital with milk, eggs, meat and produce. Across the Skagit Valley the foothills of the North Cascades can be seen.

It is obvious from this shot that some effort was made at some point to protect the buildings, since some of them have new roofs, but even these are damaged, especially on the building at the left of the picture and much more needs to be done.
