Barns and Outbuildings & How
to Build Them, 2nd Edition

By Rolf Cobleigh

First published in 1881, this volume presents dozens of practical examples of barns and outbuildings, both large and small, complete with illustrations, floor plans, and building instructions.

 

The designs include, among others, a western cattle barn with covered cattle stalls and feeding apparatus; a portable pigpen with self-closing doors; a corn house and self-feeding corn crib; icehouses; springhouses; granaries; doghouses; and pigeon houses.

The reader is instructed in choosing the correct foundation and materials for a particular structure, as well as considering the overall aesthetics of the farm in building placement. This combination of practicality and craftsmanship is a tribute to the farm and American farmer.
