Project Overview

Two storms in July/August of 2010 caused the east wall and gable ends of the historic Peterson North Barn to collapse. The barn was stabilized in October of 2010. The owner and the Friends of the Peterson Barn were advised to quicky develop a phased plan for reconstruction to prevent further damage. A qualified historical architect was hired to undertake the planning and design work with the ultimate goal of restoring the building to it's original appearance. Measurements of the existing structure, taken in summer 2010, were used to create a draftsman copy of the barn using a computer software program. The drafts were used for the final report.
