P.S.—I am reminded of that old hamburger commercial–”where’s the beef”!!!

Thank you Mr. Lamb. Your description as a machinery “shed” more accurately fits the description than that of it being a barn. I was raised on a farm & do know the difference between a barn & a shed or garage. On our farm, a machinery shed & work garage were pretty much the same thing. A barn was where you kept the livestock inside for shelter in the winter, along with daily milking & feeding, and for the hay & grain storage. While I understand that not barns may be large in size, I don’t think this quite qualifies as being one. I belonged to 4H in my younger days, & believed the members here got shortchanged quite a bit with this deal.

It is a machinery shed to store implements, tractors and Mr. Barrineau probably worked cattle there, giving the needed vaccines, castrating and dehorning, worming and spraying for horse flys. It has a small kitchenette where he cooked food and relaxed for a break.

To “ME”—Exactly. So where is the barn? What I see looks like a garage with attached carports.

To Charlie F,

A barn is used for agricultural purposes, a garage is used for automotive purposes.

I assume that the one photo shown is what is being called a barn. I grew up on a farm in NY, & we would have called that a large garage with attached awnings. I wonder what is considered to be a garage then here, something the size of a tool shed?
