GRIMSTAD BARN: This barn, near Lansing, Iowa, owned by Corbett Grimstad, was always a dream of the owners and was built in 2020. Since it is new, it has a very limited history of use, but was built with history in mind and designed by studying old and new buildings. Some of the older details include the color scheme, steep pitch of the roof, galvanized light fixtures and hardware, Dutch doors, a second-story hayloft, and some reclaimed lumber from the family farm. It has been the home of the family’s goats, beef and dairy cows and some barn cats. Courtesy of Corbett Grimstad
