What is the proper name for a square barn that has a roof that is supported by
a large brick-built column in one corner, three substantial uprights at the other corners,
two large posts at the centre of each side and one at the back?
The brick built column extends almost a couple of metres above the roof with a large
diagonal wooden beam that is fixed to the top of the brick pillar to the base of the timber post to the rear of it for extra rigidity.

I thought it was a simple question. Obviously I failed to explain in simply enough. I would try to find a picture to make it more simple for you but I can’t find one. I will take another look. That could be problematic. If I can find one on the net my question would probably be answered. It’s type is not that rare in France, nor is is listed here. agronomag.com/types-of-barns-and-barn-styles/Nor here www.frenchpropertylinks.com/buying.asp?feature=BARBelieve me, I can’t see how a barn of comparable size could be built any cheaper. |

@ Nifty, last week I dumped loads of the French magazine "Maisons Paysannes". Should not have done it..... To give you an impression see this example. |

Thanks Robert. The style that I am looking for is not listed, but, it has given me an idea how I could have made the description better. ‘Big flat roofed shed’ or garage, hangar à machineries, remise, porcherie, poulailler, etc. may have been a better term. It is similar to the drawing of the barn on page 27 of the link that you posted. Imagine the stone structure in the illustration is brick, taller and and is placed on the right of the open front of the shed. In the case of ours, the sides were were not fully boarded over. The back was perhaps 1.5 m lower that the front and was planked over. The right was boarded over with rough planking from a heavy timber support that was on the mid point of the barn. The opposite side was similar to the right side, but only covered with corrugated iron to a hight of 2,25m. Trust the French to be different, not here either en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barn |

Not a direct hit, nevertheless many different French styles, information from old post cards. Searching for "Les Landes rénovation d'une ancienne grange" is probably the way to go forward, one of the trouvailles. |

Although there is evidence that the site dates back to Roman times the hangar probably was built the 1930s at earliest.
More likely after WW2.
I am not sure about that. Does any one know when large ‘hollow’ type bricks that are used today were first used?

Does any one know when large ‘hollow’ type bricks that are used today were first used? Concrete Parpaing creux or Terre cuite brique creuse? For the first the 1950's, the latter have been around for centurys but were pushed out of favour by parpaing until the late 60's early 70's. Now they are on an equal footing, pun unintended! |
