Two New England style bank barns at Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village, Maine, U.S.A.
The New England Barn was the most common style of barn built in most of the 19th century in rural New England and variants are found throughout the United States.[1] This style barn superseded the ”three-bay barn” in several important ways. The most obvious difference is the location of the barn doors on the gable-end(s) rather than the sidewall(s). The New England and three bay barns were used similarly as multipurpose farm buildings (housing animals, crop storage and other uses all in one building) but the New England barns are typically larger and have a basement. Culturally the New England Barn represents a shift from subsistence farming to commercial farming[2] thus are larger and show significant changes in American building methods and technologies.[3] Most were used as dairy barns but some housed teams of oxen which are generally called teamster barns. Sometimes these barns are simply called “gable fronted” and “gable fronted bank barns” [4] but these terms are also used for barns other than the New England style barn such as in Maryland and Virginia[5] which is not exactly the same style as found in New England. A similar style found in parts of the American mid-west and south is called a transverse frame barn[6] or transverse crib barn.[7][8][9][10][11]
