Old barn with hay derrick or wind generator (?) on Jenkins Road/Parrish Road (County Route 16), near the corner of Perch Lake Road and Route 81 overpass.

Webmaster update (3/19/2010); the barn continues to deteriorate, as seen in the photo below. Below are also some close-ups of the mechanical device at the top of the barn:

Jack S. writes: "Hate to be a spoilsport but I still think that is the remains of an old Jacobs wind generator minus the propeller and tail. It charged batteries to provide minimal electric power. One older person I knew had one just to charge his radio battery."

Hope M. of Perceptionphotography.biz writes that this is scheduled to be demolished in a controlled fire department burn. She also sent a few more pictures of this barn and silo.

The spring house (and probably used as cold storage) for the old barn on the Dam Road near Perch River Dam
Part of the right top side of this small building has now collapsed. This spring house was part of the farm where one of the largest barns at one time in Jefferson County was situated, the barn was built between two hills. For some pics of the ruins of this barn and links to old photos of it go to page 12 and also page 18.
