They had hurricane-force wind gusts Tuesday night; their power will be out for a while. The barn is about 150 years old. It's mostly a hay/straw-barn, although while they had hogs (there are a few left, but they're mostly gone), the pens along the east side were hog pens. The place has been a hog farm for a long time.
That picture looks east-to-west at the buildings below. (Not a live Google maps link, just a screen capture.)
Fascinatingly, Google's using the USDA Farm Service Agency maps. I say fascinatingly because transcribing field data on these maps at the local office was part of my first paid job. (Up and to the right of the building on the far left, you can see the cows. The picture is several years old, because the white cow has been dead a couple years now.)
