new timber frame
CAMPBELL barn
New Timber Frame, Oakland TWP MI - The Owners of this Historic Estate wanted a “Historic Barn” for the property but they were unable to take the time to find a historic barn to move onto the property. As a compromise, we duplicated the cut of a typical barn found in SE MI in the 1830’s. After discussions surrounding its historical significance, it was recognized that the building would be appropriate for the application, and that in 100 years it would, in fact, be historic!
