During my trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains, I hiked to this apple barn located in the Moses H. Cone Memorial Park. It's no longer actively used, except for storage, but is maintained as part of the old estate.
We didn't hike in that area - Dan doesn't do well hiking in the mountains - but we did stop at that park. This is a very nicely kept barn to no longer be used!
Beautiful photos! Love the earthy tones and how you can see mossy green on the foundation, the huge trees on the path, the golds and green in the rock walls! I can almost smell that old barn!
A very handsome building, and your photos do a fine job showing it off. For some reason I never thought about how apples are stored. We just stash spuds around here and they go in very unpicturesque cellars.
Your bar is so full of personality it is about to jump out of my screen. I LOVE it! The color and the design are unique. What a fine post. Kudos to you. genie
What a lovely place! From the looks of that sky you had a wonderful day for a hike. You captured all the details of the barn beautifully! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Wow, this is very well maintained and to think it's used for storage purposes, it's bigger than my entire living space... but who'd want to clean a space this size on a weekly basis? ;-) Wonderful photos Brian, cheers.
I can't believe they're not using this beautiful barn... for something other than storage. It's gorgeous! Looks well maintained, too, except it needs a wash is all... I'd love to explore inside... I'd be like a lil kid running in & out of those cool, lower level doors & check out the rock wall! So cool!
Very cool & interesting addition, Brian, & thanks for joining =)
This is awesome! I love the foundation and how the barn just seems to go on and on when you least expect to. I love that first photo looking through the trees at the barn. Wonderful photos--so glad you shared them.:>)

Great barn. I agree with Carole, very tidy.

An amazing barn, Brian. I can't help but wonder what it looked and smelled like in it's hay day. :)
i love this one! lucky you getting to get right up close to it!
Very handsome barn ... I am curious. Apple Barn? It was used how? It is beautiful for whatever use and very well kept. Great pictures.

Wow that is a big beautiful barn. Great shots of it Brian.
really like the cupolas and the horizontal siding. and the foundation shots are cool, too. don't get many hills here, you know, or stone anything.
Wonderful old barn, Love the arches, the cupolas, the wooden shutters and doors... What's not to like? :))
I love the photos with the stone retaining walls....
I love your photos! A fantastic old barn. Thanks so much for sharing.

Love it! With only a wee bit of imagination, I'm seeing something resembling "Cider House Rules". Great find!
WoW, every nook and cranny...i love the angles and perspective. nice place brian, you photographed it beautifully!!
Locked up tight! I would love to see the inside of this one. It sure is well kept. Love the rock retaining wall.
Wonderful to see... so different to my old barns.
Interesting and well maintained buildings.
Im sorry but i would so have to trey and find a way in for a poke about with the camera.
An excellent looking building though, Cheers for sharing

Love all the "character" this barn has. Good job man, good job ;)

Gorgeous! Great angles and composition.
Beautiful place! I especially like the views around back, and the arched doorways in the stone foundation. Lovely photos!

That is a beautiful barn. I like the soft grey colour and it looks like a stone foundation covered with cement. Great shots! Pamela
Wonderful Barn Shots. So happy that is seems to be well preserved and not run down.
Awesome photos, I can almost hear the peace and quiet! Diane
Beautiful barn! I love the arched doors. I also love your big photos!
Oh, how I love old barns! You sure capture some beauties and this one is no exception. Thanks so much for sharing! :-)
Worth the hike, Brian! I especially appreciate the shots from the sides that reveal the moss-dyed foundation and those rock walls that we all want.
Great lines on this barn and I love that arched door on the lower level. Good one!
You've photographed that old barn so beautifully. It's quite a structure; one can only imagine it in its glory days.
Nice barn...look that it's well cared for!
I think I like the backside views of this one even better than the front.
I can't believe they're not using this beautiful barn... for something other than storage. It's gorgeous! Looks well maintained, too, except it needs a wash is all... I'd love to explore inside...

Wow! I hope they keep maintaining her. She is a beauty!
What a great old structure. I can smell apples and wood smoke now!
These are stunning shots of this beautiful barn!
This is a great barn and then add in the lines of the wood, the texture of concrete and rocks, along with the green grass and trees—wonderful!
This is awesome! I love the foundation and how the barn just seems to go on and on when you least expect to. I love that first photo looking through the trees at the barn. Wonderful photos--so glad you shared them.:>)
You're excellent at this. I am really enjoying the pictures you've taken . This is really awesome and reminds me of my Granny's place!
What a nice barn--looks good enough to live in. Almost anyway.
