This barn, with its weathered wood, stone blocks, rusty metal roof and vines (which may be still holding it up) is my favorite sight along the stretch of highway US231 between Shelbyville and Fayetteville in Lincoln County, TN. If you look closely, there's a faded advertisement for long gone Sterchi's Department store. The painted letters rusted into the roof in a different shade of rust than the background. The words read: IT COSTS LESS AT STERCHI'S TO FURNISH YOUR HOME
