The authors have done a thorough job presenting barn history and styles of the American northeast but have less coverage outside there. Specificaly, most Texas barns are not represented. Scribe marks on morice-tenon timbers are not dealt with either. Peg material for mortice-tenon jointa is not covered. The method of square nail construction and its era are not covered. Barn architecture in the northeast, although covered well is only partially illustrated in photos or drawings. The feference section is good and there are some maps showing where some of the barn styles have been documented. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Barns give character to the countryside. Their structures reflect the ethnic heritage of a region's settlers and the nature of the land itself. With The Old Barn Book, you'll be able to spot the difference between a Dutch barn and a Swedish barn, a barn for cows and a barn for tobacco. You'll find out why some barns have hipped roofs and others gables, why some have doors at the end and others have them on the side, why some are wood and some are stone, why some are round. Whether you are nostalgic for farm life or like to drive out in the country or want to join in the barn preservation movement, you will find this book an indispensable guide.
