Our timber-frame barns were originally framed of vertical posts and horizontal beams, often hand-hewn from oak or pine logs. They can be restored to expose and highlight the handcrafted beams. These beautiful barns are often quite large, and can be restored as a single building or combined with an antique cabin.
