Building a barn to live in- interesting article

   / Building a barn to live in- interesting article #31  
The homesteader and his wife lived in a single room off their barn here. It was temporary while building their house. Even he complained about these conditions. The main building/barn housed chickens and sheep.

It was the odors and all the critters( mice & chipmunks ) that got into their single room. Both were happy when they could move into the house.

Realize - this was back in 1892 and building coded were pretty slim or non-existent.
Which were you back in 1892, pretty slim or non-existent? 😜

It was 1948 or '49. Dad and I visited the old homesteader here on the property. I was fascinated by the stories he told of when he and his young wife moved on the property. I remember those stories and the ever present aroma of pipe tobacco.
