The Great Barn at Eaton Hall Farm


DESTROYED IN 1966 FIRE
This photo was one of the items on display at the museum as part of the 'DOORS OPEN' presentation this past Saturday.   I have seen this photo several times in the past but always in a small format.   The photo on display on Saturday was a large format version and its effect on the viewer was an impressive one.   The photo above does not do justice to the original.   One is momentarily transported in time by the large-format version of this monumental structure.   I was fortunate to see this barn as a newly arrived teenager to King City, so long ago.   
Please comment if you wish.

    See the new book "Eaton Hall - Pride of King Township" by Kelly Mathews for a history of the Great Barn.
