Located within Campbell Valley Regional Park in Langley, this traditional gambrel-roof barn is a notable remnant of the region’s agricultural past. Now owned by Metro Vancouver Parks, the barn stands unused and abandoned, though it remains a visually striking structure within the park’s rural landscape.
Its gambrel roof was designed to maximize loft space for hay storage. The vertical wooden siding, now weathered with age, hints at the building’s long service history. A central hayloft door indicates the upper level was once used for feed storage, while the lower level likely housed livestock or equipment.
Though currently without a designated purpose or interpretive signage, the barn reflects the utilitarian craftsmanship of early 20th-century farm structures. As part of the park’s heritage landscape, it offers quiet testimony to the working farms that once dominated the area and may hold potential for future adaptive reuse or conservation.
