Gus's Rock Barn

 

Another Canton landmark I forgot about.  The Rock Barn.  I read about the Rock Barn years ago and found it interesting, but as interesting as it is, my retention period is about as long as my last cup of coffee. 

I did a little Google on-line research and read  that the Rock Barn was built in 1906 by Augustus Lee Coggins.  It seemed I remember reading before it was built to hold prize winning horses.

I wonder if Augustus Lee’s Coggins nickname was “Gus”?

 

Gus,

You old Cus,

Don’t make a Fus,

Build a rock Barn

For your Hus
