MDB was commissioned to restore a circa 1860 timber-frame barn, untouched for over 60 years. The barn was vital to the farmstead, necessitating preservation over demolition. The restoration involved removing overgrown vegetation, grading for drainage, and restoring the original stone foundation. Structural repairs were made with matching timber, and new plywood was added for stiffness. A new waterproof siding system was applied for durability, alongside new windows and doors reflective of the original design, ensuring the barn can stand for many more years. Overall, this work represents a commitment to sustainable heritage rehabilitation.
The restoration of the 1860 timber-frame barn focuses on preserving its historic character while ensuring structural stability and longevity.
