Over time you accumulate houses, barns, and other pieces of property. Our barn is probably much older than our house because it fits in the 18th centuries plans I have found of our house as one of the wings (the house was oriented East-West, ours faces South). Also the structure looks older than the house which is late 19th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a class=\"image-link image2 is-viewable-img\" href=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!dq8f!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F62e139c4-ce37-4532-b762-72c985898873_1494x954.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!dq8f!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F62e139c4-ce37-4532-b762-72c985898873_1494x954.jpeg\" alt=\"\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5655913978494624;width:1456px;height:auto\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Our barn in the 18th century<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our barn matches exactly that wing of the old house.
