The Barn
As barns of this era go, this barn is generally
in fair to good condition. The barn is
about fifty feet wide by 63 feet long. The rubble stone walls and piers
generally are structurally sound and in good condition but needs
pointing in some areas. The exterior wood siding is warped, rotted and
in fair condition, has numerous holes, and will need to be replaced on
all sides. Also, the sliding barn doors need replacing. The 6x6 beams at
twenty-four inches on center are inadequate and would need to have
new additional joist added between the present joists.
The interior barn structure is typically exposed
posts, beams, rafters and bracing. There is a loft area and mezzanine
level on the East side. There are several failed broken beams at the
roof.
