50 Barn Cupolas

50 Barn Cupolas explains how old New England dairy barns came to have cupolas and presents fifty beautiful color images of unusual cupolas. Take a trip back to the nineteenth century when dairy farmers turned a ventilation problem into an opportunity to express their individuality.

Each cupola is different, and each one expresses the pride that its original owner took in his barn. Some have been lovingly restored - others are on their last legs.

This enjoyable book also documents the way fifty nineteenth-century carpenters creatively executed the same assignment.
