Description
Cantilever barns are nineteenth-century vernacular farm structures found in two East Tennessee counties, Sevier and Blount. Their characteristic feature is an overhang, or cantilever, which supports a large second-story loft atop one or more log cribs on the base story. Lofts were originally used for storing hay, loaded conveniently from wagons pulled into the driveway between the cribs. Cribs were livestock pens, while the sheltered area under the overhanging loft provided space for storing equipment and grooming animals. Barns still in active use now tend to be used for drying burley tobacco.
This image is processed in sepia, preserving the total vintage look of a barn built over 100 years ago by second or third generation settlers.
