tate barn


The original Tate Barn was built over 100 years ago near today's Soldier Hollow, the cross- country site of the 2002 Winter Olympics. Francis Tate built the original building. Over the years, the barn changed ownership. When a severe storm permanently damaged the building, and private organization raised the funds to replace the barn in the original footprint and architecture. The wood used in the new barn was taken from the original barn. The painting is just a small view of the beautifully restored valley treasure.

My daughter Ellie affectionally calls this the rainbow barn. It's beautiful Katrina!
