I glanced earlier, but didn't get round to posting at that time. My thoughts are just the same as Doug's. I wonder why the asymmetric roof shape. Does it throw the prevailing winds over it more efficiently? I presume it does get fairly breezy in Idaho.
(As I've said before I love these ordinary photos - or I should say photos of ordinary subjects. The photos themselves are excellent.)

I don't think there is any particular reason for the shape of the barn. You find old barns many designs here. The wind isn't enough of a factor to affect the shape nor is snow. I suspect the original owner just liked the shape. This barn is on a unoccupied farmstead. It probably was built in the 1930s. A lot of beautiful old barns were torn down to make way for urban sprawl in the past 20 years, This one is on land that was purchased by developers but the economic crash has pretty much stopped any further development for the present. Can't say that upsets me too much.

Good that you were able to record this old barn before it to disappears and in great morning light too. I noticed the roof style too as different. When I think of old barns I always think of Gambrel style roofs.
