David S. Pollins Barn ... This majestic
frame barn was built in Unity Township in 1849, to replace a
log structure, by David S. Pollins. Overlooking Little Sewickley

to a great grandson. (Watercolor) Artist: Sue

been owned and operated by the John Gaut family since 1925. The
barn nearest the road, one of the original Sears and Roebuck
barns, was built in 1929. The dairy barn, behind it, was built
in 1952 to replace its original which burned one year earlier.

destroyed by fire in 1914. It is off Route 30 in Greensburg and
