Orangeville IL

“Destruction by fire awaits a 63-year old barn near Orangeville because it would be too costly to dismantle for salvage, according to the owner, George C. Sherbondy.”

“The barn once held 27 cows and eight horses, with a hayloft overhead.”

“The barn began sagging four or five years ago and was abandoned.”

“Rafters and studding are oak and elm. Siding in yellow pine.”
