Here are images of three CG barns. One thing they all have in common is they are all basement barns.

Sorry if youfind the motion of the images annoying. Click on the image to get to the slide show.

Wilton, Maine. This is the only barn in New England I have seen which has unpinned braces. This style of framing is very common around the Farmington area.

Deerfield, New Hampshire. This is an 1851 or 1857 barn which was circular sawn and has turned pegs.

Sherley, Massachusetts.

All three of these barns are still in the process of being relocated. The Wilton barn is for sale.
