The barn is …

the same barn as shown in this previously posted photograph.

As explained in that earlier post here, this is the barn on the Peter P Buller farm, where Grandpa and his brothers and sisters grew up.

I am uncertain when this barn was built, but it must be nearly a century old, if not more. Given its age, the barn remains in remarkable condition, with all but the north end bearing the same original siding and the brick silo still standing.

To the west of the barn, across the current driveway, is the house where Peter P and Margaretha raised their family. Like the barn, the original structure remains in good shape. (Not pictured is an addition to the north [right] that leads to a separate but attached garage.)

We will return to the From Brüttisellen to Lushton series shortly, but tomorrow’s post will put the Peter P farm in geographical context, showing its relation to Peter D’s original farm, Henderson, Grandma’s childhood home, several cemeteries where our ancestors were laid to rest, Lushton, and Grandpa and Grandma’s Lushton farm.
