Stone Barn, Best Farm, Monocacy National Battlefield
Stone Barn, Best Farm, Monocacy National Battlefield. Frederick, MD
Camera: Pinhole Holga 120 WPC, 6x12
Film: Ilford Pan F Plus
Chemistry: Kodak HC-110, diluted 1-19 (F dilution).
Negatived copied with Nikon D300 (too big for my scanner)
National Park description:
One of the most interesting and unusual extant structures on the Best Farm is the hipped-roof stone barn, which is set well behind the main house to the west. The stone barn is believed to date from the 1790s and may be one of the improvements that reflected in an unusually large assessment for the 1798 tax year. Constructed of local stone, the barn is rectangular with large bays facing east and west and a segmentally-arched brick door opening in the north elevation. The stone barn may have orginally been divided into three equal bays to form an "English" or "Yankee" barn, a style that has been employed in the British Isles and Continental Europe in general since the Middle Ages.
