Note the way the dormer roofs are on the same plane as the top of the gambrel roof.

  1. There used to be lots of these old barns up in the north Willamette valley. My father in law was a fire fighter and I understand that in the 80’s (maybe later 70’s) most of these old barns were burned by a single arsonist. Finally caught him, but almost none of the barns in the area survived.
