Photos - On the opposite side of Highway 6 there is another interesting feature to this location: A very old cabin with a front verandah that has it's roof sadly sagging and the roof quietly falling apart. It is located on the 2115 Highway 6 property. This and the Red, hip roof barn are what attracted my attention as I zoomed along the highway and both are definitely worth the stop to take a closer look.
