Dairy Barn in Groton

Shirley was originally part of the older town of Groton before being incorporated in its own right in 1753. Shirley was named after the governor at the time of incorporation to help get through red tape. This dairy barn caught my eye as I was driving to the Bank Boston ATM over in Groton. It no longer functions as a dairy barn, but apparently is used for something. It was a blustery day, and I had difficulty keeping the easel up. A photographer and some other guy came over to see what I was up to.
