This type of structure could be used for a variety of purposes, to store agriculture or another type of equipment, storing hay or animal feed, to house livestock or just a place to work undercover. If there is a barn on your property is it used? Or is it there just for the aesthetics of the property? In either case, you would want to make sure that it's good condition and suitable for the use you would like it for.
