A masonry barn, lovely! Care to share its age with an enthusiast of old buildings?

You guys have more patience than I do. Working with the old brittle wood and pulling all of those tacks for rib repair wore me out. I like replacing the ribs and a few planks. I gave my canoe away to a local Washoe man. My paddling days have come to an end.
Penn,
My rPod looks like all of the other small green ones out there. Go to facebook marketplace and just ask for rPods for sale.

Thanks Steve. It's a mid-19th century Pennsylvania/German bank barn. Only the foundation is stone, the rest is mortise & tenon post & beam construction, and it's clad in 1x12 Spruce board & batten siding which I just renewed in 2020.
This view is of the upper level of the bank, and just happens to have a canoe in the picture!
Beautiful barn Pat.

@Patrick Corry, wonderful! Thanks for sharing
Thanks Steve and Jim. I love my barn! I grew up here when the area was dotted with active dairy farms. My first summer job as a kid was bicycling to work by 6:00 AM to milk cows at a neighboring farm about 3 miles away. I have always thought of barns as cathedrals of American agriculture. Loads of time bringing in hay and straw for storage, building hay bale forts in the hay mows. I had a wonderful childhood!
I have to admit i have barn envy.

Yeah, and that one's a doozy!
Wondering what the grid pattern in the top is for.
It’s a chess/checkers board in the making.
