The Crockett Family was one of the first to settle on the fertile prairies of Whidbey Island back in the mid 1800's. This barn sits high atop the bluffs of Ebey's Landing on the edge's of the prairie and was built by the family in 1895.
You can see the date on the sign on the barn.

This is a very nice barn and in a wonderful location as well!
What an unusual shape! It's in great shape - I like it!
What a beautiful site! And gorgeous barn. It's almost as old as I am but much better preserved! :-)
Like Mari, my first thought was what an unusual shape for a barn. Is that because it wasn't used for hay loft storage? - Margy
I've always wanted to visit Whidbey. Maybe some day. :-)
Barn envy is what I've got. Such an old historic building and so well kept up. I want. lol

Wow, I love the view from that barn. Peace
what an unusual barn. i love that you had some information on it. i am always tresspassing and making a get-a-way....i usually don't have any information!!!
I definitely think I could live in that one...or at least have my quilt studio in part of it.
Hi Mary Beth, That is certainly a well-taken-care-of barn to be as old as it is... I'm impressed... Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,
Betsy
Classy looking barn! I shudder to think what that land is worth today with the view of the water that it's got.
That's an unusual looking barn in very good shape for its age.
Look at that view! It's amazing. It must have been hard to get all your supplies over to the island to get things started, but what a reward.
To my eyes it almost looks like an old school. I wonder what the barn was used for!
