It’s a shot up the hill from the Hillsborough County Fairgrounds.

I’ve spoken of this Barn before, it’s the enigma of a frame I mentioned in the “no continuous” thread, with the hewing out of place (in a town full of rivers and mills) and the braces cut with some wild out of time table saw.



I’ve seen chase morts a handful of times in other frames peppered around the state, but this is the only time I've come across braces cut in this fashion - note the slight over-penetration of the blade that cut the shoulder side cheek of the tenon - all the braces shared this - though the one pictured has one of the deeper bare faced side reductions.
