Preserving Old Barns
Preserving Old Barns is a wonderful resource for barn owners to assess, care for, and celebrate their special structures. This illustrated full-color second edition features over two hundred pictures, one hundred pages of new information from author John Porter, and barn preservation techniques from timber framer Arron Sturgis. It provides a practical understanding of the history, function, and preservation of old barns.
