Fair Haven Barn
15 X 17 feet | 1800's | Fair Haven, Vermont
This adorable timber frame was built near the town center of Fair Haven. The barn housed animals during the 1800s, and then became a general storage barn and garage. The center bent was modified at some point in the barn's life in order to add a second floor with lots of head room. In its next phase, this modification can be retained, or the tie beam can be put back to its original spot for a more spacious first floor. We can't wait to see this barn standing once more!
