Great Old Scratch Made Folk Art Barn with Removable Roof calico sign and in near perfect conditionIt's not often I see a folk art barn invested with as much love and attention as a really good house, but this one was just great. Individually laid wood shingles for the roof, framed out windows with white painted panes, dark wood siding with a nice warm dry patina, and the roof lifts off should one wish to store some animals inside for the winter! I have to think this was based on a very specific barn, probably by the owner of said barn! 10 1 2 t x
