Semi-Monitor Barn
Idaho
Monitor barns have a unique raised roof above the central aisle. This feature helps air circulate through the barn and is a popular feature for livestock barns. The raised center roof not only allows ventilation and light to enter, it can also function as a loft for storing feed. The style allows farmers the option of adding in chutes to easily feed livestock housed below. This specimen only has the two-level roof on one side. Photo © copyright by Robert Faucher.
