Barn on Lot 8, Range G, Freeman Township, c. 1825-1899
The ?Barn on Lot 8, Range G? is an English style barn modified in plan to provide for additional livestock, equipment and feed storage. Built circa 1825, the older part of this two-section barn exhibits a hewn timber frame, complex joinery fastened with pegs, and a traditional three-bay plan with center aisle. Before the end of the century a two-bent addition was erected on the west, gable-end wall. Constructed of scribe-ruled sawn timber, but utilizing similar joinery, the new section of the barn increased the footprint of the building from about 1500 to 2400 square feet.
