Halstead selected some of the most popular published designs from over two decades of the farm journal, The American Agriculturist. Designs include barns, stables, carriage houses, animal shelters, corn cribs, ice houses, spring houses, dog houses and bird houses. This book is still an inspiration for country builders.

This review is from: Barns, Sheds and Outbuildings: Placement, Design and Construction (Paperback)
Really awesome book. Really enjoy the pictures of the buildings. Great ideas if you are lacking. Out dated on the price to build such things, but kind of neat to see what it would have cost back in the day.
