Paul Flanders and I did a survey back in the 70s of Dutch barns in the towns of St. Johnsville and Palatine, Montgomery Co. Many of these barns no longer exist; however, we do have photographs and measurements for them.

List,

One of the goals of the New World Dutch Barn Survey 2000 is to locate the sites of NWDB's that are no longer standing. Obviously this is a much more difficult task to accomplish than to locate and document extant ones. We have only managed to document the location of three of these barns to date. With one we were fortunate enough to have obtained a photograph that was taken about 30 years ago.

If anyone has any knowledge of such a site please do not hesitate to contact us. We will be featuring a short article and the photo of the above barn sometime in February on our web site. If anyone knows of a standing barn that they think even slightly resembles a NWDB, let us know and we or one of the other organizations we work with will be glad to come and take a look at it.
