Circa 1875 Cider Mill Barn
This frame once housed a successful cider mill in Buxton, Maine. The five bent frame is 24' x 40' and is cut from both sawn and hewn timber of Oak and Hemlock. There are no interior posts giving a full 24' x 40' open space. A great little barn, this frame would be ideal for a four car garage or a three car garage with some shop space and a lift. more photos

Circa 1810 Carriage Barn, Bethel, ME
This is three bent, hand hewn frame from West Bethel, Maine. The timbers are White Pine and the braces are Oak.

This is a nice detail that makes the roof system very ridged. The frame is 30' X 24'6". more photos
