Transverse Frame Barn

Black and white photo of a Transverse Frame Barn.

The Enos T. Hotchkiss Transverse Frame Barn was clad in brick and initially only had a hay loft door on the northeast (facing the house).  In this 1888 photograph, it was still primarily used as a stable on the first floor, with hay in the loft.  Later the 100’-long barn was adapted to tend cattle, sheep, and then cattle again.  The first floor has mostly stalls and a tack room and a workshop.
