Description:
729 New York St. Alley Barn Langston Hughes wrote about James W. and Mary Reed raising milk cows and chickens on their 731 New York St. property. He remembered, Auntie Reed let me set the hens, and Uncle Reed let me drive the cows to pasture (Big Sea 18). This barn dates from the time of the Reeds, and it is adjacent to the lot at 731 New York St., which is too small for a truck garden and farm animals. The Reeds lot might have extended to this neighboring property, and this could be the Reeds barn. It has hand-made bricks, hewn limestone, wooden barn doors and lintels, a chimney, ironwork, and other details that date it to the late 19th or early 20th centuries. The wooden beam on the end would have supported sliding wooden doors. The dutch door allowed circulation for livestock.
