[QUOTE="Aceface, post: 7043175, member: 12257"] But the advantage of dating a Dutch Barn, is that what you see is what you get,...…...there are no sides to them. But seriously, all that I can add is that search maps and arial photos pre 1948. If the farm has been sold pre or post 1949, there may be details may be on the deeds or in description of the holding. ( Our own Dutch barn was apparently built by two ex-RAF service men and it was their first job after getting de-mobbed after the war). Also, as an aside, although your Dad thinks it was built mid forties, would there have been much farm building going on during the war or soon after as steel and sheeting were in massive short supply for the war effort and for rebuilding the infra structure after war's end?
