While many bam owners may
not think of that building that
houses their livestock as a thing of
beauty, Heisey showed slides
which illustrated the intricate
design and workmanship that is
seen on many bams.
For instance, the vents, which
allow light and air to get into the
bams, are sometimes found in the
shape of a wine glass, prayer

in the design of sheaves of wheat.
In addition to the ventilators,
many bams, especially those
made by the Germans, had
decorative date stones, which were
sometimes coordinated with the
design of the ventilators.
Even the structure of a barn can
be decorative, juding from
Heisey's slides, which featured
barns that looked like churches
and boasted Victorian charm.
Heisey also touched on silos and
weathervanes, both of which add to
the interest of any certain barn.
“Silos are a modem addition,”
Heisey said, and showed a slide
where one silo was turned into a
playhouse for the children that

their original purpose as people
are now using them for
restaurants, homes and antique
