This rectangular barn, circa 1900, is a solid and impressive example of the robust construction techniques of its era. Located in Howard, Pennsylvania, a region with a rich history of lumbering, the barn features hand-hewn beams of mixed oak and chestnut, joined together with double tight ties for added strength and durability.
With dimensions of 24x36 feet, the barn offers a footprint of 864 square feet. The structure comprises four bays, spaced 11/14/11, and rises to a ridge height of 21 feet with a rafter plate height of 13.6 feet.
