Old County Road, Yankee barn, access
restricted (contact owner). Stone foundation, post and beam framing, barn board
siding, mansard roof of wood with wood shingles and sheet metal. High drive.
Entrance in gable front. 100 by 50. Sawn frame.
Featured in 1964 Waterford Town Report. Particularly significant because there is documentary evidence for the barn's design and construction by local barnwright Fred C. Bullock, as well as for the process of consturction (choice of local mill used for lumber; photos of barn raising).
Due to gradual wear and lack of use, this barn was taken down on August 27, 2016.
My son Nathan Mitchell purchased this land. The barn is gone now, but the highdrive remains!
