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.

Famous quotes containing the word barn:
“Then when he saw it could hold no more,
Bishop Hatto, he made fast the door;
And while for mercy on Christ they call,
He set fire to the barn and burnt them all.”
