tobacco barns
Leaf drying structures
Tobacco barns are agricultural buildings designed for curing harvested tobacco leaves.
Traditional designs vary by curing method—air-cured barns have slatted sides for ventilation, while flue-cured barns are sealed with heating systems.
Found throughout tobacco-growing regions, they're distinctive features of the rural American South: Old tobacco barns dot the Carolina countryside.
