One of our historic barns is getting a new lease on life, and not a moment too soon.
Before our heavier than usual snows in February this machinery arrived at the barn used by the Lavender Connection to support an obviously sagging roof. Failing shingles were removed. Then it snowed…a lot. The weight of snow would likely have caused collapse.
Bit by bit the roof is being repaired and replaced. It’s a big job, and no doubt a hit on a pocketbook of any size.
I took this shot in 2017. It was clear even then that its days were numbered. It’s very nice to see it brought back to useful life.
Glad to see someone cares about preserving history.
It is amazing what careful restoration can do but as you says ‘deep pockets’ needed.
Good that it is being saved.
It’s nice that it is being restored. The roof is a huge job and looks like help has arrived just in time.
In your first pic you can really see the lovely lines of the roof! I’m glad they are saving it!
