Another pix of one of the tenant farmer houses.

Back of the dairy barn again ... horse barn is to the far right. Was probably the milk house in the middle.

 

[Jay]

Inside the dairy barn ... love those old beams.

Another inside the dairy barn

The side of the dairy barn with the old fire thrown tile silo. On 11/19/2010 the tarp that was put on the side of the dairy barn was weathered and tattered-torn. I'm sure the elements have gotten to the timbers now.

Another side shot of the dairy barn. This side was completely exposed to the weather on 11/19/2010.

Interesting beam on the side of the exposed dairy barn on 11/19/2010.

A close up of that interesting beam on the exposed side of the dairy barn. Some kind of hook was present on 11/19/2010.

One of the entrances to the horse barn.

 

[Jay]

The horse barn and stables on 11/19/2010. There was already water damage on some of the overhead beams from the exposure above.

 

[Jay]

You can see the water damage on the beams above on 11/19/2010.

So sad to think about the last horse that was in this stall. Such a waste! SUCH A WASTE! I can't believe these beautiful homesteads around for hundreds of years have to be left to deteriorate and be nevermore!

 

[Jay]

This didn't do any good when it came to the Tocks Island debacle. You can see the green/water damage on the beam above back on 11/19/2010.

 

[Jay]

More stalls, more evidence of water damage back on 11/19/2010.

The dairy barn on 11/19/2010.

The PS kept this barn in good condition for their own use.

A pipe was diverting water back on 11/19/2010 on the property.
