Maine Tavern

This frame came from Greene, Maine. It served as a tavern on an early road across the state, and later was utilized as a house. It is a beautiful hewn structure, with massive second floor joist logs that span the entire width of the building. The framers used old methods in the construction, including principle rafters and purlins. 

​

Details:

• Full second floor, giving approximately 1,200 square feet of living space

• Hewn Hemlock, with hardwood floor joists

• Principle rafter system with purlins

• Restored frame, erected on your foundation, with roof boards applied.

 

Possibilities:

This frame is large enough for a home. It would also make a wonderful studio. One great option would be to install just half of the second floor, creating a cathedral ceiling in one section of the building.
