Deborah Lundbech's photos with the keyword: barn

Sparse snow upon the fields of nearby Lincoln, Vermont - but at least the mountains are snowy. (See below.) HFF to all. Merry Christmas to all my Christmas celebrating Ipernity friends, and also warmest wishes to everyone who embraces other traditions and beliefs. May the coming year bring comfort to all who have tragically suffered these past few months, and peace and restorative justice to all.

Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: A BARN, FARMHOUSE, OR ANY VARIETY OF AGRICULTURAL BUILDING I was thinking that this old bank barn had an interesting fan on the roof - but I think it's actually a fan behind the barn building. The little boy is having a drink (milk from their cows?) in front of the farmhouse with the barn, fan, and probable silo behind him. The photo is edged with a design that I've only seen on prints from the 1930s - but it may have been printed later than that.

We went on a day trip up the western side of Lake Champlain (eastern New York) from Port Henry to Rouse's Point, on the border of Canada. We then came down through the Champlain Islands in Vermont, and so back home.

Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: BARNS, BARNYARDS, AND BARNYARD ANIMALS This is our house in Bristol.We bought it in 1990 - there was no barn there then. This is a photo given to me many years later by the grandson of the family who lived in it in the 1920s. When we moved here the people across the street told us that there used to be a barn on the property but it burned down. We were unable to see any trace of one. (Later we realized that perhaps they were talking about the small attached shed.) Fast forward to the late 1990s. My friends and I were trying to find a new home for the school we had founded some years before. We put an ad in the local paper and a family from a nearby town contacted us and said they would be open to renting their house. The three of us drove out to view it. It was a late 1960s, very funky with winding stairs and rather dark - not workable for the school. We thanked the owner and as he walked us to the car I admired his barn. He asked if we would like to see inside as it was all beautifully hand-pegged and worth checking out. After we had oohed and ahhed - I asked if it had been on the land when they bought their house - as it was clearly older. He said, "No as a matter of fact it came from Bristol". We said, "Oh, really? That's where we're from. Do you remember whereabouts it was?" He said, "Sure do - it was quite a job getting it out. It was on Basin Street." !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was "our" barn - sold and (I assume) dismantled in the 1970s! We live on a VERY steep hill, so even dismantled it must have been a really difficult move. Life is so weird sometimes. Several years later I received this photo and several others from the grandson, as I said, and there was the barn - painted but otherwise the same.

Ferrisburgh, Vermont. August, 2011

Taken the other night and probably ten years after the picture before.

Ada Grimshaw (in the middle) picnics with friends in Perkinsville or Springfield Vermont abt 1900. www.adamaygrimshaw.blogspot.com i love the "surrey with the fringe on the top" in the background. This also looks like the box lunch auction at the end of the movie Oklahoma.

Taken after it finally stopped snowing. December 22, 2008
