60' x 49' Saratoga Timber Frame Barn, Franklin County, MA
The timber frame of this extraordinary barn overlooks the Pioneer Valley in Massachusetts. Made of Douglas Fir, the timber frame features open cathedral ceilings with exposed timber rafters. We could write books describing the beauty of this timber framed structure. But we’ll let the photographs do the talking.
