Horse Barn
Occasionally a farm will have a freestanding horse barn. A horse barn tends to be gable roofed, wood framed, and built on a level. It has large entry doors in eaves or gable, and openings indicating where horse stalls are located. Usually there is a loft for hay. Horse barns are found in scattered locations throughout the state.
