This includes reinforcement of the roof frame; installation of a new wood shingle roof; residing of the building including clapboards, trim, doors, and window coverings; shoring up of the fieldstone foundation; re-grading of the area immediately surrounding the barn to redirect storm water runoff away from the structure; and the installation of a fire detection system and burglar alarm within the building.
