Spiegel Family Barn

Shelby County
Written By Christie Browning

The age of this old bank barn is unknown. It is a three-level barn that is set back from the highway and surrounded by picturesque farmland. It was placed within the gentle slope of the hill. Doing so allowed easier access to the two upper levels, an advantage for the farming operation.

The Spiegel family purchased the farm with the barn in 1925 and utilized the barn for many years. There is evidence in the surrounding area that a farmhouse as well as other buildings existed on this farm. It is no longer part of an active farmstead.

I remember rounding a curve in the road and spotting this barn. It spoke to me, requesting me to paint it. I went back early one morning in October 2010 and completed a plein air oil painting size 16 x 20 inches.

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.
