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:

County Route 35, West Potsdam NY - Part 1

I'd just arrived in West Potsdam, NY via County Route 34 (see yesterday's post) and turned onto County Route 35 to see the tiny settlement there:

This great old home looked historic and had a large, artistic weather vane at its peak. I couldn't tell for sure what it was, but it may have been a fox with wings:

There was an old church which appeared to be no longer a church. I don't know what it is used for now:

A classic blue house with a great front porch:

I suspect this home began long ago but has had a number of additions over the years:

A modern looking home (or one which has been remodeled) with an old looking barn:

West Potsdam was situated on the western shore of Trout Brook, and I think this house had a nice view of it:

A lovely old barn off on a side road:

An older house and carriage house in great shape. It reminded me of homes seen on Cape Cod:

I headed south on County Route 35, passing this large greenhouse up on a hill:

This appeared to be several old barns, tied together:

A sizeable herd of horses up on a hill were eating hay from a bale feeder like mine. There was still more to see on this road, and I'll post Part 2 tomorrow:
