Property Tax Incentives, Tools For Preserving Barns - NHDHR to grant property tax relief to barn owners who (a) can demonstrate the public benefit of preserving their barns or other historic farm buildings, and (b http://www.nh.gov/nhdhr/barntaxincentives.html
Extractions: Help Save Historic New Hampshire Agricultural Buildings A new state law, RSA 79-D , creates a mechanism to encourage the preservation of historic New Hampshire barns and other agricultural buildings by authorizing municipalities to grant property tax relief to barn owners who (a) can demonstrate the public benefit of preserving their barns or other historic farm buildings, and (b) agree to maintain their structures throughout a minimum 10-year preservation easement. The Purpose The new law is based on the widespread recognition that many of the state's old barns and other farm outbuildings are important local scenic landmarks and help tell the story of New Hampshire's agricultural heritage. Yet many of these historic structures are being demolished or not repaired because of the adverse impact of property taxes. RSA 79-D encourages barn owners to maintain and repair their buildings by granting them specific tax relief and assuring them that assessments will not be increased as a result of new repair work. The Mechanism The program represents a uniquely New Hampshire approach; it is strictly voluntary on the part of the property owner and combines

Extractions: A growing number of Ohioans, including farmers and rural property owners, are increasingly concerned about the loss of our farm heritage, especially the disappearance of barns and older farm buildings. Interests in rehabilitating, converting, and preserving existing farm buildings to meet today's farm demands is growing across the state. In 1997 a traveling Smithsonian exhibit on the BARN AGAIN! Program will be coming to several locations in Ohio. Still, despite this growing interest, farmers and concerned citizens have found it difficult to obtain guidance and the technical information needed to rehabilitate and reutilize older farm buildings and rural structures. PROGRAM PROPOSAL FORMAT Since 1979, the Ohio Historic Preservation Office has sponsored their popular Building Doctor Clinics. Each year a series of lectures and site visits are held in communities where there is an expressed interest in and need for preserving historic buildings. These clinics are frequently held in larger communities and, as a result, typically do not reach agricultural and rural audiences. These clinics will serve as models for the Barn Rehabilitation and Revitalization Workshops

Extractions: Alga (Algie) Shivers: a Builder of Round Barns Home In 1880, Thomas married Millie Revels. Alga recalled to a reporter for the Ocooch Mountain News (October 1977) the background of his mother: "Her daddy was a full blooded Irishman and her mother an Indian." Thomas and Millie had six children: two daughters, Cora and Middie, and four sons, Herbert, Alga, Edward, and Marvin. By 1900, Thomas had purchased the 60 acres from his Uncle Edmund and an adjacent 200-acre farm in the Town of Forest from Samuel Bass. Thomas was an innovative farmer, who, because of his interest in new technology, was the first in his area to purchase a tractor (in 1917), to install a hot and cold water system in his house (in 1919), and to use an electric generator system (in 1920). Thomas actively directed the operation of his farm until his retirement in 1945 at the age of 88 years. On the occasion of his death in 1959 at age of 101, the Hillsboro Sentry Enterprise wrote:"…the community mourns the loss of an esteemed pioneer whose leadership and kindly assistance had brought new confidence, new opportunity to many people…Those who knew him best will always remember his pleasant personality, his devotion to his family, his loyalty in friendship, and his excellence as a neighbor." Alga (Algie) Shivers took over the family farm along County P east of Valley from his father. Alga was born in 1889 and grew up on his parents’ farm. He attended George R. Smith College in Sedalia, Missouri where he studied carpentry among other subjects, and played second base on their baseball team. While in college, he was called into the army to fight in World War I. His step-granddaughter, Genevieve Roberts Reko, recalls that he was stationed in France where he drove a motorcycle and hauled the generals and the officers around. "He told us that a couple of times the motorcycle was shot out from under him," she added.

Extractions: Over the years, however, many of these fine barns and other interesting agricultural buildings, granaries, cart shed, implement stores, animal shelters and sheds, storage buildings, dovecotes, dairies, milking parlours and pigsties have not been used in an economic way and are now falling into disrepair, due to changes in agricultural management and practices. Sometimes they are in a state of serious dilapidation or decay and are often in need of urgent repair. The majority of East Hert's historic barns are typically of C16 or C17 timber frame construction, on a red brick and flint plinth and are clad in black weatherboarding with a beautifully weathered old tile or thatched roof. Associated buildings may be of similar construction or might be of C18 or C19 brick and slate or pantile. Most barns are of 3, 4 or 5 bays in size, although there are a number of notable examples of exceptionally large 10 and even 12 bay barns; some are single or double aisled. The barns are characterised by a steeply pitched sweeping roof, over unbroken dark walls often with a gabled porch (midstrey); a simple and robust form and a solid outline.

Extractions: In lowland England manors were converted in the late Saxon period into open-field communal farms. The chief farm buildings were attached to the manor house ; the village for the estate workers lay close by. Since villagers could cultivate their own strips in the open fields (in return for working the lord's land) and keep livestock, their homes were farmhouses too, though on a humbler scale. In highland Britain a pattern of scattered farmsteads remained the norm. In some areas cattle and sheep were moved in summer to high pastures, where temporary summerhouses were built (booley houses in Ireland, shielings in Scotland, and hafodydd in Wales), some of which were later converted into permanent farmsteads. From the later Middle Ages to the 19C the open fields of the English lowlands were gradually enclosed. When fairly carried out, enclosure exchanged a tenant's scattered strips in the open fields for a consolidated holding, encouraging the building of new farms away from the village. In Wales large areas of open moorland were divided amongst private owners and new farms created. The date of enclosure may therefore help to date a farm complex. To track down the date see
Extractions: The RDBA was formed in 1956 and until 1991 was known as the Farm Buildings Association. We are still today the only Association in the UK having the detailed knowledge of the function and environmental requirements of a modern agricultural building, together with the breadth of expertise in their siting, planning, design and construction. This expertise also extends to conversion for diversification and other rural building design issues. Aims of the RDBA To provide opportunities for those interested in and concerned with Rural Design and Rural Building to meet and exchange information, ideas and experiences relating to these subjects. To encourage the investigation of problems and matters pertaining to Rural Design and Rural Buildings and their equipment. To collect and publish information relating to Rural Design and Rural Building. To stimulate the incorporation into practice of advances resulting from research, experimental work and practical experience. To co-operate with any other organisation in furthering any of the objects of the Association. There is a branch structure with most branches holding: regular meetings, interesting and informative visits, seminars and presentations on subjects of interest.
Barns: History & Conservation can be found in the barns and farm threatened farm complexes and other historic agricultural Techniques for identifying historic farm buildings and documenting http://www.uvm.edu/~hag/barns/barncourse.html
Extractions: Interim Director, Historic Preservation Program, Department of History, University of Vermont, Burlington, VT 05405 Telephone: (802) 656-0577 Course overview: Lingering evidence of our agrarian heritage can be found in the barns and farm buildings that dot the landscape of North America. But whether in scenic rural areas or in densely populated regions, many of the most important reminders of this heritage stand neglected and endangered. In an era when "quality of the life" and cultural tourism play increasing vital roles in shaping rural economies, a major public commitment is needed to help farmers and non-farmers find productive ways to save these irreplaceable cultural assets. The intent of this course is to help those involved with environmental conservation, planning and preservation discover new approaches for preserving threatened farm complexes and other historic agricultural resources. Techniques for identifying historic farm buildings and documenting their history and uses will be covered. The course also reviews approaches for assessing conditions of deteriorated farm buildings, developing conservation strategies, and establishing preservation and planning policies. With its state funded barn preservation grant program and other innovative planning and natural resource protection initiatives, Vermont has taken a lead in farm building preservation efforts. Field trips in the Lake Champlain Valley and the Green Mountains will view important examples of barn preservation projects and rural resource protection programs.

Johnson - Engineer (Structural Design)/OMAF Introduction Causes of Corrosion Prevention of Corrosion Repair Recommendations ... Summary Deterioration of metal truss gusset plates is a major concern in buildings that contain high humidity and corrosive environments. Normal galvanized steel plates exposed to moisture, condensation and ventilation air containing manure gases, will corrode rapidly. Many of these buildings show severe corrosion within five to ten years. This corrosion can weaken the building and could potentially lead to structural failure. Truss plates are light gauge metal plates used to connect prefabricated wood trusses. Truss plates are produced by punching light gauge galvanized steel (normally 16, 18 or 20 gauge) so teeth protrude from one side as shown in

Extractions: Ivy Farm Lane (Canley Hamlet) Conservation Area Transcript from relevant parts of Coventry City Council June 1989 draft brochure, with updates where needed. Introduction The conservation area is situated about 7.2 km (4½ miles) south-west of the city centre and was designated a Conservation Area on 16th November 1989 in order to preserve and enhance the general character of the area. The area maintains a strong rural character, a result of the building type and form, the street pattern and the landscape qualities. Ivy Farm Lane, Cannocks Lane and Shultern Lane are all shown on maps dating from as early as 1597. The area once formed the old hamlet of Canley, and was based on a number of separate farms. Today, the area is surrounded to its west by Canley Cemetery, to its north by Canley Nurseries and to its south and east by modern estate development. Despite this it maintains a strong rural character, a result of the building type and form, the street pattern and the landscape qualities. Ivy Farm Lane is narrow and winding and characterised by sporadic verges and enclosing hedges, trees and walls.
