Had to stop and get a picture of this barn in Albion up Navarro Ridge Rd. Not sure if it’s old, but thought it looked cool.

This is what the remains of the Signorotti hop farm looked like a few years ago. This is a couple miles down the road from me. (one of my nieces took this).
This barn was torn down last year before it collapsed. I think the usable lumber was salvaged since it wasn’t just demolished with an excavator.
These were the hop drying kilns. The cone shaped tops collapsed in a storm a couple years ago.
A lot of our old landmarks are disappearing 🙁

Used to be horses, new owners have goats-
Fucking crazy…there is a building almost identical to this close to me in western PA. It’s like an old building look you never forget.

My buddies barn that he cut to hay mow out of. It’s still standing as of yesterday. You can see the deadmen he poured to stiffen the wall.
This is the barn I own. Never been inside it.
I bought this farm because you cannot sink a plow more than 6” into the ground. She is one solid rock

Interesting topic. As some of the other Michigan guys have posted, we have some beautiful barns around the farming communities. Ironically my son in law has picked up a couple jobs dismantling old barns. There is a market for the old wood and he seems to think it's worth the work.
Locally we have a cool barn that has been restored and moved to the local County Fairgrounds that is about 4 miles from my house. It's 14,000 sq ft and was moved 10 or so miles from its original location. Part of the reason that it was saved was due to the generosity of Kirk Gibson and Tim Birtsas. (both local former MLB players) The barn was dismantled and all beams etc labeled for the move. It's now a venue at the local 4H fair where it is used to display all the 4H projects and is also used for special occasions like weddings.
The barn is beautiful and it's awesome that it has been restored. I think the restoration and move was north of $600,000. Although this is a wedding promotion, scrolling through the pics shows a really awesome structure and restoration. Lots of pics of the internal structure.

Pretty good description of it here;

Old barn in eastern WA between Almira and Grand Coulee that a bus broke down by a few years ago. The bus mechanic remembers his dad running cows out of it when he was a kid.

Forgot I had these from a time we were in Maryland, driving back roads.

While driving around on back roads one Saturday, us three boys, dad and his dad came across a barn just about like this. Grandpa looks for a minute, "Huh, that ol' barn's in pretty good shape for the condition it's in".

Our two big old (one build in the mid 1800’s best guess) are going through changes in the future. We built new doors for the big oldest barn last year which turned out great. However, we finally decided to have all the wood siding removed from the barns and install tin over them. We had a company come out for an estimate to do the work.
It’s sad in one way but it’ll save the barns long into the future by doing this. We do still use them so they are important to us for that reason besides we want to keep them around.
The big barn has a really old structure inside the middle we think may have been originally the residence first homestead as they built everything else up around it. It has an old corn shredder in it now that’s been there since the farm was purchased in the early 70’s.
I have a large walk in cooler inside of the big barn also that we poured a concrete pad for and ran 220v down to it for. We use it during deer season.
I recently gave the old wood stove/oven to our neighbors. It’s been in the summer kitchen since we got the farm. They did an awesome job of restoring it and they wanted it to bake bread in. I said they can have it as long as we get some of their homemade bread.
Big old barn
Our shootin shed. It needs the opening small roof rebuilt
