Regarding Roland's post about Ste. Marie Among the Hurons, I'm not sure, but he may be refering to the reconstructed village near Midland, Ontario, Canada. The website for this group is:
http://www.saintemarieamongthehurons.on.ca/ A number of years ago (around 1992or 93?) Thistlewood Timber Frame Homes built a timber roof over an outdoor dining/service area.
I hope this helps.
