Another Rock City Barn in Rock Spring, Georgia

An old horse and an old barn. Just dreaming away the years,

There are three Rock City barns still standing on U.S. Highway 27 between LaFayette and Chattanooga.

One is at Noble, about three miles south of Rock Spring. A second is on the south edge of Rock Spring. I wrote about it here

The barn pictured at the top of this post is in Rock Spring proper, but impossible to see unless you know where to look.

It used to be fully visible to northbound travelers on U.S. 27, but the owners of the property have allowed trees to grow up, completely hiding the barn from the highway.

To see the barn, if you're coming from the south, turn left at the last traffic light. (If you're coming from the north, turn right at the first traffic light.) In any case, go a block to Old U.S. 27, turn left, and look left. The barn is behind the house on the corner.

At the time I made this photograph, Rock City was still painting this barn, but it wasn't doing them much good because no one could see it.
