 | A fact from Tobacco barn appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the
Did you know column on 25 February 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

The article seems to concern itself mainly with air-cured barns. Flue-cured barns are altogether different, being mostly log or cinder block construction, and are a prominent part of the landscape in the Old Belt. Should we break the article down into sections by barn type? - Ben ( talk) 19:39, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
- Furthermore, flue-cured barns break down into pack barns and curing barns. I'll see what I can find on the subject. - Ben ( talk) 19:50, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
There is some excellent information (including diagrams) on the history of both air- and flue-cured tobacco barns in Kelebrew and Myrick's 1897 book _Tobacco Leaf_. This has been digitized by Google books, and I wonder whether we could use illustrations and diagrams from that? A good example is here: Diagram of Flues. Ben ( talk) 19:23, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
I added a picture showing the hinge on the outside of a tobacco barn, to support the discussion in the article. Because of space issues, it is best to remove one of the images existing, and I felt that with two images of the interior, one could be removed without any problem. Let me know if you think there's a way to accommodate all the images. (I also posted this at the editor who added the original image)-- SPhilbrick T 00:53, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
