Photographic Tour of Barnard for Those Who Haven't Seen It.

Looking north from the bridge east of town.

Plaque on the bridge east of town.

Entering east of town.

Salt Creek north of the bridge.

Looking south on Cathanne.

Cathanne and Ballard.

The Barnard water tower.

Looking north on Section Line Road.  Barnard straddles two townships, Scott and Salt Creek.

One of my houses.  It is the oldest house in Barnard.  We aren't sure if it is restorable but plan to mothball it just in case we can.

Another shot of the oldest house in Barnard.  It was built in circa 1880.

I don't think this is the oldest garage in Barnard (smile) though it does go with the house.

Mills and Section Line Road looking west.

South on White Street

My little treasure that we are restoring to live in .  This is the old Saunders place which is the former home of the man who conceived the idea of the water tower and supervised its building.  Strange how the movement to save this tower is originating from this house as well.  The First Baptist Church is just to the south of us.  The Methodist Church is just across the street to the west.

Baptist parsonage.

A glimpse of downtown.

The old Webster place.  It seems much larger on the inside than it does on the outside.

At the south end of Main Street.

This little gem is slated for demolition.  Behind the trees, it is in pretty decent shape.  The porch needs a little work.  This cottage needs to be saved...will you be the one?

Downtown, where all the lights are bright?

The new firestation.

The old firestation.  See why we got the new one?

Lions Club and Community Center.

City Hall is in the old bank building.

The old library houses the city tractor now.

The water tower...it is in danger of being torn down.  It is the only real significant piece of architecture left.  It was built by the WPA.

The old Barnard School.  High School closed in '66.  The grade school closed in '77.

413 Smith as it appears today...no house.  The house that was here was featured in a previous photo spread.

My little lovelies...they are so sweet and EXCELLENT judges of character.

Another of my little lovelies.  This one is named Travis...he is always hungry and a bit of a basket case.  Just like me :-)

A restorable victorian cottage.

This one really is restorable...wait until you see a sample of the inside.

It really is restorable...get ready....

This is the inside of that house.  The wallpaper is peeling but the plaster is intact.  The pocket doors will close all the way.  It is a gorgeous house.  It will be a future feature in the Banter.

The old section house built by the railroad.  It is the second oldest remaining house in Barnard.

I have always said that every house has a story.   God bless this house.
