About this property

It has a braced frame construction and rests upon a raised concrete foundation. The basement floor level has a concrete floor covered with soil, and is where cattle were housed. The first floor is supported by 1 by 12 inches (2.5 cm × 30.5 cm) beams. The roof is supported by 11 braced beams. The west side of the barn has a shed-roofed lean-to. A wing that originally extended from the north side has collapsed and been removed.

Locally it is the largest structure in the Cuprum area. It stands in spacious meadows, surrounded by forest, at the intersection of the road which leads to Cuprum and the Kleinschmidt grade. Set at this major intersection, and being the largest building within a forty mile-radius, it is the major architectural landmark in the Cuprum area.
