Notes
|
This 34’x56’ structure was a bank barn on the Woods family farm in Springport. It had been used as a dairy barn with hay storage on the Woods farm. The Nussdorfer family purchased the three bay timber frame structure with a gable roof. It has pegged mortise and tenon joinery. It was constructed with a mixture of hand hewn and sawn timbers ranging in a variety of sizes including 9”x 9”, 10”x 9” and 12”x 9”. It was a multi-level bank barn with the dairy cow area beneath a hayloft. A 4-bin granary was at the opposite end of the barn which was walled off with a set of rolling interior doors. The granary area also housed a workbench area and there was additional hay storage above. The center of the barn was open to the ceiling with doors on either side and had a scale built into the floor.
The Nussdorfer family would re-purpose the barn for other uses; it was converted to a single level structure with a poured concrete floor.
