Clevenger Family Barn

This three-bay gable barn was built in 1890. It features a large wagon door, which leads into the center bay and a gable-roofed dormer overhead with decorative elements.

It was clearly a conscious effort to build a barn that functioned well for daily operations and was eye-pleasing, too. The Clevenger family purchased the farm and barn in 1962 and proceeded to restore and renovate the barn. They used the barn for beef cattle, sheep and poultry until the barn was retired in the late 1990s. The barn is well-maintained and still used for storage.

During the summer and fall of 2012, I scoured Randolph County and finally found this barn. I set up my plein air oil painting supplies as the late September light cast shadows on the gable end. I used a 16 x 20 inch canvas.

All the barn paintings are for sale.  Please contact Gwen to find out if the painting(s) you are interested in are sold or available.
