Patricia Powers Barn, ~1890


High Ridge Road, English barn, access with request to owner. Stone foundation, post and beam frame, barn board siding, gable roof of wood with sheet metal. Milkhouse. Entry on eaves side.

Moved in 1945 as original location in Upper Waterford was flooded by creation of Moore Dam on Connecticut River. Stable and milkhouse were added in new location (1945-1950?).

A&T Powers interview of Patricia Powers: Barn was built in Upper Waterford (now under Moore Dam Reservoir) at an unknown date. Wallace family sold property to New England Power around 1945, dismantled and reassembled barn at its current location, and added the milkhouse and stable after the move.

Added details: Wallace farm belonged to Flora B. Wallace; for details of end of village of Upper Waterford see: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~vtcbarne/UpperWaterford.htm
