at least six feet off the ground.

The barn we had the Barn Dance in recently fits this description very closely, including the two very large doors (set at the one-third points of the wall) opposite the drive in door. These were each about 6 feet wide and 12 feet tall, on rails at the top.

The barn had half a corn barn built on one end - never saw that before.
