Harvard Shaker Village - South Family Barn (Harvard, Massachusetts)

http://www.harvardshakers.com/stone-barn-ruins.html

The Shaker South Family Barn was an early 19th century stone masonry three and a half story gable-roofed structure situated in a gently sloping pasture adjacent to the South Family complex in Harvard, Massachusetts. The structure has been a ruin for a number of years, surviving in unstable and deteriorating condition. However some of its most significant and striking masonry features still remain. The Harvard Conservation Trust, with grant assistance from the Bruce J. Anderson Foundation, a support organization of the Boston Foundation, has commissioned this study to document and evaluate the structure's current condition, and to recommend a program for arresting the deterioration to the extent feasible, and stabilizing the remains. The Trust holds a preservation restriction on the barn remains and 1.5 acres of land on which it is situated.

A 2004 study on the condition of the structure can be read by clicking here.

Some words borrowed from Patrick Leigh Fermor, from his book "Mani- Travels In The Southern Peloponnese":

"A spell of peace lives in the ruins of ancient Greek temples. As the traveller leans back among the fallen capitals and allows the hours to pass, it empties the mind of troubling thoughts and slowly refills it, like a vessel that has been drained and scoured, with a quiet ecstasy....."
