At first glance of those buildings I thought you were in farming country in the North East States. Lancaster PA or Maryland. I enjoy comparing US architecture with its old world origins. Buildings in East Anglia (UK) have a likeness to Dutch and German buildings. Which is just across the North Sea.

Milling used wind power where I live in Liverpool UK. This example about 2 miles away lost its sails 100 years ago when electricity was the new marvel ! CROSBY WINDMILL
