This is the farm stead I currently live in. It was originally a Novy farm. The barn and chicken coupe has been torn down. The garage was torn down but rebuilt on the same foundation. The house is a sears and Roebuck kit home hauled here by the near by railroad in 1918. The pole building is a Bryant building built in 1964. The family owned a case tractor dealership and from what I’ve been told this barn housed the overflow of new case tractors. This building is in excellent shape and used today still.
