Leveling 1837 Frances Perkins Homestead National Historic Landmark barn. The north end is raised 14″ to align with the south façade. This is the west wall of the barn, June 20, 2022. |
Once the barn has been raised, cribs are installed temporarily to hold the structure level as new foundation structures are put into place. This is the barn’s north wall. |
Here the temporary cribs have been removed, replaced by permanent foundation stone footings here carefully crafted and stabilized prior to the final lowering of the level barn structure. |
