Description

The Dutch barn and attached cartsheds, located approximately 75 meters west of Home Farmhouse, are likely from the mid-19th century. They are constructed from squared coursed limestone and feature plain tile roofs. The Dutch barn has six bays with open sides supported by square wooden posts and diagonal struts beneath the eaves. The south side has a stone gable wall. Attached to the north of the Dutch barn is a one-unit, two-storey bay that shares the same roof, featuring a ground floor doorway and a shute at the first floor. There is also a two-bay range attached to the north gable, which includes a window and a door opening at ground level, both topped with gauged stone heads, and has a lower eaves level. A cast iron drive wheel projects through the window opening. Additionally, there is an eight-bay range of cart sheds attached to the north, with square wooden posts between the bays, and a similar range attached at right angles to the south of the Dutch barn. The interiors were not inspected but likely retain their original roof structures. Although the Dutch barn and cartsheds may have been built later than the farmyard ranges at Home Farm, they are part of the model farm layout that includes Home Farmhouse and other farm buildings nearby.
