      abstract = {Massive structures created with the use of native  materials, and by the simplest yet most practical methods,  the barn is a beautiful and powerful form. As a place of  shelter, of work, and of life, the barn is an essential and  esteemed form in ancient and modern architecture both in  Europe and America, and a favorite dwelling for people  today. The origins of the barn, its uniqueness and  importance as a structure, along with the techniques and  tools necessary in raising a barn are examined here. From  medieval European barns to nineteenth-century Pennsylvania  Dutch barns to the most modern timber framed structures,  the barn has become not only a practical work place, but a  place to restore, preserve, and live in as well.},
