Notes
|
This barn was built in two increments with the original (pre-1900) consisting of about 700 sq. ft. footprint and the second, major structure being added sometime later, circa 1910, consisting of about 2100 sq.ft. The structure is of post and beam construction with the original roofline being a gable and the newer, added, portion being gambrel with a cupola, raised ramp, board and batten exterior, all of which sit on a two foot thick split fieldstone foundation. Each portion has two floors. Within the upper level are a granary, a large storage room and main hay barn. The newer portion of the barn includes two haymows.
The upper barn floor was replaced/reinforced in the 1960’s. Tom and Marsha are in the process of replacing the floorboards with native ash harvested from nearby property. The cupola was restored to its original condition in 2013.
