The Barns of Caumsett


The first thing you see when arriving at Caumsett, is a group of magnificent barns and stables.  Look at this masterpiece!  Please click on this photograph to see the building in more detail.  The architectural detailing is just beautiful - notice the windows.  And then the beautiful silo - I have never seen a silo that was sheathed in shingles.  And then on top of the silo is a round room, with what looks like entrances for birds.  This estate was built in the early 1920's and the craftsmanship of the builders is evident everywhere.

Beautiful building and silo. Thanks for pointing out the openings at the top, perhaps for the birds safe haven. I look forward to seeing more of this park and buildings.

I love the silo but thought it was strange that the little window at the top is open. Also like those half round windows. Wonderful details and symmetry. betsey

Love this barn! The windows go together nice with the shingles and the color of the barn and roof. Nice photo. Trace
