Once, I passed barns without a glance. Now, I notice these ordinary structures for the extraordinary variety of architecture from unnamed architects and as stalwarts of the rural. When all else falls, these buildings stand. The Honor Guard is just that--strength, endurance, steadiness against time and nature, holding the fort down for countless farms and ranches across Arkansas, United States, and beyond. They have always been assurance of safety, enduring long past use. It is a building plan passed down in history from one person to another. They are buildings that lack the esteem of an architect's name. Perhaps by noticing them, we become part of their history and heritage.
