On two separate occasions I chanced upon two distinct barns that were lost 

sometime in the last 40 years.   I don’t know why I took the trouble to approach

these barns.  I had a feeling we were losing something when a road widening 

occurs for the public good.

EPISODE 714   PRICE PAID FOR HIGHWAY WIDENING   JUNCTION QEW AND 403

1)  Barn on fire as we came home from our farm one afternoon.   South side of QEW just as highway turns south

toward the Ford plant.

2)  Barn about to be bulldozed.  “I was paid for the barn but wish I had it back.  So many nice memories.” said 

the former owner as he stood in the old sable.  North side of QEW directly opposite to the barn fire.
