There are easily more miniature barns like this one in the area than large barns, as structures such as this are handy for many homeowners of large property, even if they don't farm or homestead. They are also easier to build, too, not requiring a large team of workers or a whole community to build, as was once the case.
Barn Raisings were once quite common in rural areas. If one farmer needed a barn, often all the menfolk of the community would come together and get the job done for the farmer quickly, and the favor was returned when another neighbor needed a barn repaired or built!
