East Tennessee Cantilever Barns

Two historians of architecture (U. of Tennessee) let their enthusiasm for vernacular architecture get out of hand and grow into a systematic survey of cantilevered barns in their parts. In all they found 316, which they locate, describe, and often illustrate, while discussing their structure and origins, who built them, regional factors, and their place in vernacular architecture.
