I loved it, and I loved that the search drew you in to the point that you learned so much about the builder. I'm already wondering what hidden history our house will hold. I grew up in Watertown and still visit my parents there often. Riverfest fireworks, here I come!

We think it's pretty special. Someday I hope to get to Germany and see some of these 500+ year-old buildings. Thanks Jonathan. We think it’s pretty special.

It's such a simple and straight-forward design that proves how a structure built with good materials and craftmanship can endure. I didn't realize we many (any) examples of fachwerk/half timbered construction in the US. Fachwerkhausen have lasted 500+ years in Germany, and I surely hope whomever takes over this barn after you all takes the care you are to help this barn last as long. Good for you! Beautiful.
