It was a favorite memory of mine. When it wasn't used we played basketball in the hay loft on the second floor. With 40' plus of ceiling you could loft the ball pretty high. There was an old horse drawn wagon and sleigh under the banked basement area with a small stall for hogs (small exit doors) and a corn crib style pen for bottle fed caves we raised. Being a banked barn it was just an amazing place to play as a child. We had a rope hung from the copula reinforcements and would swing each other around before dismounting into hey bales. Man do I wish I could go back to those days.
