Grand barns of the nineteenth and early twentieth century,
By A Customer
This review is from: Without Right Angles: The Round Barns of Iowa (Paperback)
For all those who love Iowa, the landscape and the barns of Iowa!This comprehensive book documents the picturesque barns of an Iowa that will never exist again as today's farmers choose metal buildings to replace the grand barns of the nineteenth and early twentieth century. More than 160 barns, located in virtually every county of Iowa, are shown in this interesting collection of black-and-white photographs with text by Lowell Soike, a historian with the State Historical Society of Iowa. Penfield Press of Iowa City is the publisher of the second edition of this work, The photographs date back to 1983 when the book was first published. Many people have used this book as a guide to finding the round barns of Iowa. While many of the barns are still standing, others have disappeared. Most round barns are not in use today. One chapter shows the moving of the Tonsfeldt barn from the edge of Le Mars to the Plymouth County Fairgrounds in Le Mars, where it stands today. Tonsfeldt built the barn in 1919 to show purebred livestock and to feature Ito's Perfection, his prize Hereford bull. Ideal for home and a wonderful gift!
