There are quite a number of Swiss settlements in Wisconsin, which incidentally is the origin of the famous Wisconsin Cheese. I have relation up there somewhere...
I know there are numerous opportunities to study genuine Swiss techniques in some of the Swiss settlements (While we are talking about studying ethnic buildings) IT is because of this tradition that I suspected the barn might have some German influence, the long slanted braces especially had me thinking of that.

Here is a link to the UW-Extension site where there is a short video about Swiss Forebay barns. http://www.uwex.edu/lgc/barns/index.htmlLook for this on the home page and click on the video. "August 7th Heritage Barn Tour & Conference in Green County - the video below discusses the historical barns featured in this tour!"

Craig -
I'll ask, I'm in contact regularly, but am more than a ways off, and all the lap joinery scribe barns I visited were privately owned...
I was invited to the Swiss Heritage Barn Tour, but could not attend. Did you make it to the WI example?

Hello, Here are some of those stub ties too where the rafters are butted at the ends, but then different, from  an image on a German timber framing address. Greetings, Don Wagstaff

Gabel,
I sent you a PM,
And thanks to all who shared their thoughts!
I am hoping to do a simply Sketchup drawing of the frame...just have to find the time to get over there and take measurements.
Thanks,
Rooster
