Field Notes

Bartlett, Daniel and Esther, House National Register Nomination No. 93000290 Also on the property is a ... late eighteenth-century barn, which was moved intact to this site in 1980 from its original location about a half-mile north of the Bartlett House. It is believed to have been built c.1760 for Captain Zalmon Read, Esther Read Bartlett's uncle. It is a good, well-preserved example of an English-style barn, with central doors and threshing floor and box lofts to the sides. Roof boards and floor joists show marks of an up-and-down saw and are believed to be original, while the barn's siding is a century old or more.3 (Photograph 10)
