This is an example of a gable front type barn which grew in popularity in New England just after 1830. Greek revival style led to the realignment of many New England homes after 1820. The realignment called for the gable end of the house and later barns, to face the road. This design change allowed for much longer barns to be built simply adding more bays to the gable ends. A farmer could therefore add on to the barn as the needs for the farm grew.
