An interesting bit of history on the 1917 barn!

I've been doing some research, trying to find out more on the history of our old barn and found some interesting, but contradictory information.  I was told that when the original house was built, the barn was already here, but, now I know that the house, barn, and livestock pens were all part of a housing deal around the Great Depression.  The size of the house, barn, and pens, depended on family size, so the original family that lived here, must have been huge!  The construction date is still 1917, and that doesn't seem to make sense, but I'm still looking for the exact "Law" or "Act" that funded this housing project.  Keep you updated when I find new facts.
