Historic Buildings For Sale

"Ye shall know them by their works"
  New Testament
 


These buildings can be re-erected on your foundation at any site within the USA. Barns are typically Gable or Gambrel roof styles, the timber frames are either hand-hewn (early settlement) or mill sawn. Hand cut or field limestone or sandstone are foundation materials. Prices depend on extent of services and can run from $25 to $40 per square foot for the frame alone. Wood species range from hardwoods (oak, beech,elm,chestnut, poplar) to softwoods ( white pine, longleaf heart pine, hemlock, tamarack)

 

BARN LOG B
BARN  LOG A
Our yard consists of thousands of board feet of antique timbers, half rounds, pole rafters, dimensional lumber, boards and flooring that came out of compromised structures. They are ready to be designed, rebuilt or retrofitted as homes, commercial buildings, studios or museums. Our designers and craftsmen can create a custom "antique-like" building for your special requirements.


There are also several complete stored frames available on site.

We do not sell timbers for re-saws or to flooring manufacturers
