Chestertown NY Early Barn

This frame is an exceptionally well crafted classic English frame. When we found it, it was tucked into the forest that has grown up around it. The structure is a mix of hardwood and softwood beams, with many of the posts being maple. It has a 12 foot loft built into the original design, though the loft  may need to be raised a foot to give modern headroom underneath. The rafter system is beautiful with a traditional queen system supporting the rafters at mid-span. Part of the big story on this frame are the roof and siding boards- wide and gorgeous!
