This historic barn is one of many that we have helped preserve which were constructed in the 19th century by a Mr. Hilton -- a prominant framer who's barns still stand throughout Frederick Co. and the surrounding area. The techniques and design choices still evident in the barn frame act as a signature of the builder. Using in-kind materials, construction techniques, and repairs which match the work Mr. Hilton did is part of our preservation philosophy.
