2024—Another Old Barn

The Palouse is an agricultural landscape of gently rolling, mostly treeless, hills planted with low-growing crops like wheat and alfalfa in south-east Washington extending into western Idaho. Since the late 19th Century, the Palouse has been an important agricultural region and with that brings barns and other outbuildings. Over time, some buildings fall from use but they have such character that they continue to contribute to the region, not as a functional building, but one that is full of charm. They don’t detract from the landscape. Rather, they contribute to it. This old abandoned structure, peeking over the top of a couple of hills undulating in front of it, caught our attention.
