For Cars or Cows?

Barn-red carriage-house-style doors contrast with the cool gray of weatherboard siding and a slate roof. The narrow tongue-and-groove doors have traditional "Z" braces and arched windows with six lights. Although made to look like two swinging doors—with two wrought-iron bean handles—a third handle on the bottom stile belies its true design as an overhead door (which could suffer some damage if that loose gutter falls).
