Jay,

A little over 60 yrs ago, when we first came to live in this area, we 
were young, no kids, and drove around to explore the area.  Along a 
length of US 64, just above the Alabama line, near the small town of 
Belvedere, there were one or more of these barns.  I suspect that is 
where Don made the drawing.
