The Star Barn Elizabethtown, PA

— scroll to view project —

In this project, we were proud to take a beloved local landmark and restore it to its original beauty. We carefully dismantled the original timber frame and siding and re-installed them on a different site. Then we wrapped the structure with insulation panels and skinned it with clear cedar siding. In the process, we were able to add a state-of-the-art HVAC system to keep this 26,000-square-foot event space comfortable. We reused original hardware where possible and cast or hand forged any other pieces that needed to be replicated. The crowning glory is the 54-foot-high cupola, modeled on the barn’s original.
