00:07:00,267 The bank barn was a common barn design 173 00:07:00,267 --> 00:07:01,467 in the 19th century. 174 00:07:01,467 --> 00:07:03,100 This is typical of the bank barn. 175 00:07:03,100 --> 00:07:04,667 There was always a rock wall 176 00:07:04,667 --> 00:07:07,400 so you could drive in this part of the barn. 177 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:08,900 From up on the bank, 178 00:07:08,900 --> 00:07:11,467 you could drive right in the ground level. 179 00:07:11,467 --> 00:07:14,800 A bank barn is just a barn built into the side of a hill, 180 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,233 and it has two levels. 181 00:07:16,233 --> 00:07:18,400 The bottom level is where the animals were kept 182 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:19,733 and on the top level's where they kept 183 00:07:19,733 --> 00:07:22,033 the grain and the hay. 184 00:07:22,033 --> 00:07:25,133 Look at this. 185 00:07:25,133 --> 00:07:27,400 They put the grain in there and they pull this board out, 186 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,200 it fed the grain to the animal. 187 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,900 I don't know if they had a sack under here 188 00:07:31,900 --> 00:07:33,500 and they would pull this out, 189 00:07:33,500 --> 00:07:35,967 a sack would fill up, they'd push it back in. 190 00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:39,233 The grain was stored upstairs 191 00:07:39,233 --> 00:07:41,200 in a small room called the granary. 192 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:46,733 And taking apart the granary 193 00:07:46,733 --> 00:07:49,900 stirs up a hundred years of dust and debris. 194 00:07:52,433 --> 00:07:55,833 Ugh. 195 00:07:55,833 --> 00:07:57,600 I
