County Route 35, West Potsdam NY - Part 2

I was driving on St. Lawrence County Route 35 in West Potsdam, NY (see also Part 1, posted yesterday), and snapping photos of the rural scenery:

The landscape was mostly flat, but in places it was lower than the road, allowing wonderful scenic vistas:

This classic farm house looked as it must have many years ago:

This farm house appeared to have been remodeled and modernized:

An old, small barn with lots of equipment nearby:

Almost hidden behind the trees was an old farm house and barn, no doubt a family farm for many years:

A country auto repair shop:

This appeared to be an active farm, with multiple outbuildings (which had new roofs) and haylage stored out back:

A lovely mustard colored house with a great side porch for sitting and enjoying the rural scenery:

A system of barns and silo, right next to the road:

An old brick farm house, an uncommon thing in these parts. I think the brick part was the original home, and it still had its old plank door:

This was a modern building, but there were two big silos out back. The former barn must have collapsed or burned many years ago but the silos still looked new. This was the end of my driving tour so I put my camera away continued on toward Canton:
