After dismantling the timbers of this 200-year-old barn and restoring them, we worked with the owners to redesign the structure, and then reassembled it on a new foundation.

The original timbers were cut from first-growth trees that grew on the land - massive lengths of hemlock, pine and spruce. Markings on the wood showed how the joinery had been laid out.

The raising of the frame took place on a July day with a crane and a pair of oxen. A band of fiddlers played, while the entire neighbourhood looked on. |
