Daniels Farm Corn Crib
16 X 20 feet | circa 1830 | Waterford, Vermont
This little barn was originally used to dry corn. One gable end of the barn had slotted boards to help with the ventilation. From the beginning, however, the barn was used for multiple purposes. It has a full second floor, with a unique staircase that hinges up and out of the way to make more space on the first floor. It was later used as a machine shop. The frame has hand hewn posts and timbers, and half-round rafters and floor joists. It is an adorable cabin!
