Hand Hewn English Style Barn
30 X 40 feet | circa 1780 | Addison, Vermont
This barn is an incredible treasure! With even the braces hand-hewn, it is among the earliest that we have seen. The exterior posts are oak, and the interior horizontal girts measure 16 inches deep in the center! The frame boasts a full length ridge beam and 8 braces in the rafter system.
Details:
-
1200 square feet first floor
-
A partial or full loft could be added
-
Roughly 20 inch knee wall on second floor
-
Excellent condition in spite of its age!
Possibilities:
This amazing structure would make an incredible barn home! It can have a second floor added, and could have an addition to make space for a mudroom and bath, while leaving the spacious interior with an open floor plan. It could also be a terrific barn once again.
