Here are a couple of photos I took of what I think is an abandoned tobacco barn near Leland, North Carolina. It was located near the parking lot of a moving truck rental place. I'm not sure if it was abandoned or used for storage, but it certainly is an old building with lots of character. I took this picture from a nearby parking lot and did not trespass on the property.
I know from my own family history that tobacco was harvested and allowed to hang and dry in totally closed barns. I suspect that the poles that are being used to bolster the roof overhang originally belonged inside for hanging tobacco.
At any rate, this weathered building has character in spades and is a wonderful sight in any southern landscape.
