While hiking on a trail on Mt. Toby in Mass. a couple of weeks ago, I came across this abandoned sugar house. I'm still pretty new to studying historic timber frame forms, but I thought that the horizontal corner braces were interesting. I also like the look of the round log rafters. Because of the whole building starting to tip, some of the brace pegs were shorn out. There was a postcard tacked up inside the building indicating that the building was still in regular use through the 80s at least. Interesting how quickly an unused structure can fall apart. Here are a couple of pictures, I was too busy looking around to think to take better ones.
