Bank Barns
Bank Barns
The bank barn originated in England in the 1600's and became popular in America during the colonial period.

4 horse stalls, wash stall, tack room and feed room on lower level
A favorite among German immigrants in Pennsylvania, the style was adopted by others and soon
bank barns could be found in New England and throughout the northeast and mid-Atlantic states.
The appeal of the bank barn was its practicality and function.
They could transform a hilly landscape into a useful building site, and on flat ground, the loft doors
were reached with wooden ramps or from mounded dirt and rock.
The design allowed the farmer to drive his hay wagon directly into the hay mow, and the lower floor
served as a warm, protected space for the farm animals.
When designed correctly, a bank barn can adapt to serve the needs of a horse barn. King-designed
bank barns are true to their history and practicality, but are updated for modern function.
