Barns, going down river, or northeast, are on the
west side of N Y S Route 12. |
| The Hollis Wood barn on Route 12, formerly owned by
the Vrooman family. It was probably built in the 1890's.

The Jacksons' Sears Roebuck barn. This barn was
purchased in 1919 through a Sears Roebuck catalogue. It was shipped by
rail to Redwood and then transported by wagon to its present
location. It is a fine example of many attributes of a barn
including the gable doors with their protective over hang above the hay
rail, lightning rods, and cupolas. The third picture is of
supporting buildings of ancient vintage, one of which was used as an ice
house.
Unfortunately by the winter of 2008 the barn had collapsed -
another victim of age and is preserved only in pictures. The
photo at right documents the loss.

| The Schryver farm on Route 12 - a top notch example of very well
maintained buildings. A nice background piece was furnished by the
family - see Schryver Farm. |
|
| Located on Seaway Avenue, just upstream and in full view of the
Thousand Islands Bridge, this barn is a good example of one with sheltered
peaks at each end. The farm, which dates back to the early
1800's, has now been converted to a winery. More information can be found at the website of these
recent entrepreneurs:
