East Point, Texas


I spotted this charmer in the community of East Point on a recent road trip to North Central Texas.  Sitting out on the Texas prairie it is unique to this area in that it appears to have glass windows and even a door with glass panes that matches the red roof.  I'm sure the door is a modern improvement although the windows seem to be original.


Another view of the same barn from a different angle.  East Point was settled in the 1870s.  By 1896 its one-teacher school had 86 students.  In 2000 the total population was 40.

Hi Kathy, this is a pretty barn. I like the roof too specially the color looks like the roof we use in the Philippines. Happy Tuesday!

Hi Kathy. I really like this barn. It does look like it could be lived in. I like the little windows in the peak.

Such an interesting structure! Looks like part barn/part shed. I love it though and could see myself making a home there. It oozes charm!

Who knows at one time that might have been the main ranch.

I wonder if someone has turned it into a studio of some sort. I could see myself spending some time there.
