Gorgeous Michigan Barn, Take 2

Newly painted red, the traditional color for Midwest barns.

 

Per americacomesalive.com: "The color of barns varied by region but it all stems from practicality and cost. In the eastern part of the country, iron oxide, a reddish color, was available and acted a wood preservative and an insecticide. "
