That's one high end Red Barn, nice pics

Hundreds of years ago, many farmers would seal their barns with linseed oil, which is an orange-colored oil derived from the seeds of the flax plant. To this oil, they would add a variety of things, most often milk and lime, but also ferrous oxide, or rust. ... It turned the mixture red in color.

Very interesting. I did not know that. Its high end because it is a public animal farm in one of our parks.
