| Additional Information: | A shed-roof addition projects from the northwest elevation. The foundation remains for an adjacent, perpendicular structure that has been demolished. Resources for the A.

2022 - The Gable-roofed barn (AHI 226134), located at the northern edge of the farmyard, was constructed c. 1873. It is a raised basement barn with a concrete block first story and vertical board siding above, with an asphalt-shingled roof. A shed-roof mass projects from the northwestern elevation. A sliding barn door is located at grade on the southern, front-gabled elevation, and is flanked by two high window openings filled with glass block. Wooden posts at the corners of the foundation are still visible. The basement walls extending from each corner post, likely constructed originally of fieldstone like other barns on the property, were reconstructed of concrete block at an unknown date. A historical drawing from 1878 shows a barn door entrance on the eastern elevation; while this opening is no longer extant, evidence of it is still visible in the vertical wooden siding. A long, two-story mass extending from the southwestern elevation was demolished circa 2008.
2012- "This basement bam (AHI #226134) was constructed circa 1880. It is rectangular in plan with an asphalt-shingled, gable roof, vertical board walls and a masonry foundation. A shed roof addition projects from the northwest elevation. Sliding doors are located in lower level of the southeast elevation with glass block windows on either side. The foundation for an adjacent, perpendicular basement that has since been demolished remains northwest of the extant basement bam."
