Been on a kick with Pintrest these days. I noticed that Barns from across the world are pinned by many but pictures of a unique style of barn was missing. Russian Mennonites when they fled various situations (1870s to mid 1900s) brought with them the beauty known as the House Barn. I remember these from my childhood in Saskatchewan and now I work at a great museum that strives to preserve the Russian Mennonite history in Manitoba. Such a fun job and I get to learn about my family's ancestry!
the small building to the right of the house is the summer kitchen where all the baking, canning etc would happen, to keep the house temperature comfortable.
