I posted the shot above on September 25th. Pardon the repetition, but I think it’s striking to take a look at it again, a month later, with an updated shot.
I’m not sure when the cupola disappeared into that gaping hole in the roof. I noticed its absence a week or two after I posted the first shot. As evidenced here, the wind and weather this time of the year is not kind to fragile buildings.
I ventured closer to this barn the day I took the latest shot. I’ll post more portraits of it tomorrow.
Is time for the building inspector to show up?

is this barn?Your comment
Always a bit sad to see old barn collapse like this. But I like that you have decided to document it for us to see.
Happens to the best of us!
You’re not kidding about the wind and weather, it’s hard on old buildings.
Ron, this barn is uphill on your right as you drive west onto Highway 101 from River Road.
Sad to see that old barn go down…looks like it was a nice barn!
I’m frequently amazed at the numbers of buildings and barns left for ruin like this around the countryside…I always wondered what cause the previous owner to up and walk away…
Thanks for visiting MammothLakesDP!!!
Wow! A sad sight. But sort of beautiful in a way.
It looks like part of this is salvageable and could be used for decorating.
Nature has a way of reclaiming her land and ridding herself of human achievements. Terrific photos. I’ll bet you could take a photo a week and thus chronicle it’s certain demise.
I would say the end is near.
