Rural Beauty ~ Restored and New

This old, old home has been completely restored, and it is absolutely gorgeous. It looks to me to be Civil War vintage. I pass it each morning on my way to school so have been following the restoration on a daily basis.

 This is a brand new barn, and it is one of the nicest I have ever seen. Love the star at the top.

Another shot of the front. Be sure to note the stone wall to the right rear. 

Processing #1 of another shot.

Processing #2 of same shot.

 This is what I assume is the spring house, root cellar, or a restored small storage building. I do not have the nerve to walk up onto the property to find out which it is so your guess is as good as mine.

Just for fun...this was the barn until I plugged the picture into one of my iPad apps called “My Patterns.”  It’s lots of fun to play with when I have lots of time to spare because once I start cannot put it down! The patterns you can create are endless.
