The sort of thing that America's oldest families would live in. Very old money. About a hundred years ago. They've all moved on and turned their barns and manors into museums and the new money schlock-meisters buy up what's left and destroy any lingering authenticity it may have in their quest to paint themselves with some kind of borrowed history.</p> No I think it’s one of those antique barns that rather predates chewing tobacco.

There was one still standing in the Over-the-Rhine section of Cincinnati about ten years ago, and they were preserving it for heritage reasons - which was a bit odd because O-t-R was genuinely old and not needing to preserve mid-20th century tackiness. Well, maybe not as old as where Half comes from, but old enough….

Bordering on tasteful. Plus, the 6-year-old didn't have his own wing to hold over his classmates heads. The ones who had to buy shoes at Walmart, earning his scorn.</p> No I believe I heard once that’s the antique historical barn that they originally bought, tacking that other monstrosity onto it because it wasn’t ostentatious enough.
