Sweitzer Barn
Sweitzer barns are also known as Swetzer or Swisser. The name reflects the barn's probable origin from Switzerland. The Sweitzer is the "original Pennsylvania barn" and was originally a log crib type barn built between 1730 and 1850. The distinguishing feature of this type of forebay barn is that the forebay projects in a way that the gable end is asymmetrical.

And gain get back its houses and peoples watching it bring up
Its local lights single homes lamps on barn roofs”
