Lewisberry, Pennsylvania, USA

The 'Pennsylvania Barn' is a disappearing element of the American landscape. Forebay barns like this (with a second floor overhanging the first) developed as the settlement frontier pushed west from Philadelphia. They punctuated the farmland that became America's breadbasket before the Midwest took over that role. [2007]
