Maybe eventually, but I don't think the shoring up they've done will help much. This is in a remote rural area of Idaho...far from the madding crowd!!

Doesn't look like it will be much longer judging by the angle. Hope there is nothing valuable inside or it will be crushed soon. Very interesting find and well photographed.

First of all; nice set. Secondly; I think I know from which direction the wind blows and one good one might do the trick.

Eventually, though I know of cases where they brought in tractors or similar and pulled old structures back to vertical, repaired or added bracing, patched boards, doors, windows, etc., and then had an engineer/inspector pronounce the structure good for another 100 years. Especially if they treat the wood and/or put on heavy weather-resistant paint and a sheet metal roof.

My Grandparents' farm had barns, sheds, and a farmhouse that had been remodeled and rebuilt over the years and had some hand-cut beams that went back to well before the Civil War. The first log cabin expanded into a house that had the old wood recut and was used to build the "new" house just before the Civil War. With remodels it is still the core of the present brick-faced house. I looked it up on Google Maps and Aerial Photos online. The barns, garage, and sheds were torn down and replaced by steel beam and sheet metal structures in new locations. Since they don't seem to raise any livestock most of the fences have been removed.

Here is what the farmhouse looked like Sep 2023. Now brick-faced, the carport was added with an extension on one side. The Attic seems to have been restored to a second floor with new windows. The old large trees are gone and the small ones I remember are now large. The building to the left was a fenced pasture and old fruit orchard. The building on the right replaced a wooden garage, tool shed and boat house (flat bottom John Boat on a trailer-the family loved to go fishing in the lakes along the Ohio river to the North a few miles). The flat area before the drop off to the road level was where my youngest Aunt and I would spread a blanket in nice weather on nights I was visiting from our house in town. We would lie looking up and with a flashlight, she used her HS Science book to teach me the constellations and major stars. The dog would snuggle up to one of us and if a farm cat had kittens they would "help" = climb on us, climb on the dog, stick their heads between the flashlight and book to see their own shadows etc. Their Mom would curl up nearby to keep an eye on them. Oh, what I would give to relive one of those nights, especially if I could take our kids back to see what it was like. About 2005, on vacation I drove my family past the farm and our youngest (10 yo at the time) looked around as I drove by; "Where are all the buildings and sidewalks?" She was born and raised in Corona Ca, part of the extended Los Angeles Metro Area. To her "country" was the city park. She is now a Pediatrician and has seen a lot more of the world.

The farm is between Barlow and Wickliffe with a Barlow mailing address but Google labeled everything out side town in the NW part of the county as Wickliffe(county seat).
