I 1081

This barn was built c.1770 in New York State by Dutch settlers to the former Dutch colony of New Amsterdam. The unusual design is said to date to the 11th century in the Netherlands. It reached its height of craftsmanship in these barns built on the American frontier in the Mohawk river valley, the setting for James Fenimore Cooper’s “Last of the Mohicans.”

Dutch barns were built only until about 1820 and very few survive to the present.

The posts and beams are hand-hewn from massive timbers cut from the virgin forest. The largest timbers, the anchor beams, measure 20 inches wide. The longest beams are over fifty feet, one piece. The entire frame is joined together with mortise and tenon joints and wood pegs. The wood species are oak and white pine.

This barn frame has been carefully dismantled and numbered. We make all necessary repairs and fumigate the barn before shipping to your building site. Our experienced crew travels to your site and re-erects the frame on your foundation.




We also have Structural Insulated Panels (SIP’s) available for the exterior walls. Click Here for more information on SIP’s)
