That is the very old style of pole buildings - the traditional "post & beam"
method of
construction that was common before the availability of prefabricated span
trusses. If you pick
up an old carpentry book from the first half of the century, you will see
virtually identical
illustrations to the building shown in Website. That wasn't just a "California"
style at all.
There is nothing wrong with that method of construction, if you don't have a
need to move
machinery around inside - storing hay or keeping livestock, etc. But if you
want to store
machinery, you need the newer construction methods.

more fatal blunderer than he who consumes the greater part of life getting
his living. -Henry David Thoreau, naturalist and author (1817-1862)
