| Additional Information: | This barn is part of a farmstead previously surveyed. AHI# 128099 This forebay barn is a large, rectangular plan bank barn with fieldstone foundation, gambrel roof and a characteristic overhanging second story on the south side of the south elevation. This barn differs from the standard forebay barn type in that the overhanging second story is more of an attachment on the east elevation and not contained within the rectangular plan of the main barn itself. The overhang is supported by a series of five wooden posts. The north elevation is the uphill side of the bank into which the barn is built, and provides access to the upper story. The barn is clad in an asphalt roof and unpainted vertical wood board siding. There is a metal silo on the northeast corner of the building. |
