This 143 year old multi-level bank barn was
originally built in 1862 by true early American craftsmen. Located
on a farm in Indiana the 40’x 60’ barn was in need
of costly foundation repairs and the property owner decided to
sell the structure rather than see it fall into disrepair.

Heritage Reclaimed Structures, Inc. acquired
the structure, and then restored, relocated and built it as a 38’ by
75’ timber frame barn structure for Devil’s Thumb Ranch
Resort, Winter Park, Colorado. The “Broadax Barn” will
serve as the activity center, retail and ski shop, conference center,
banquet and wedding reception facility. The lower level will be the
retail and ski shop and the combination of the heavy timbers and stone
is stunning.
The upper level is for dining, meetings and
wedding receptions. The upper level has a large functional sliding
barn door that opens to a large deck overlooking the pool and fantastic
mountain views. The deck connects to an internet café and
the “Timber House” which is a customized timber framework
that I designed and built for the resort (please visit the Timber
House showcase). The Broadax Barn and Timber House are the centerpiece
of the 27,000 square feet Resort Activities Complex that includes
a fine dining restaurant, wine cellar, indoor/outdoor pool, spa,
sauna and so on.
If you have an interest in building a restored
Early American Timber Frame for your next timber frame home or
commercial timber frame building then please give me a call.
