Old Rusty

This massive (75ft x 40ft) circa 1820 hand-hewn beech timberframe featured a cantilevered forebay supported by 40ft floor joists every two feet on center. This structure has been repurposed as a family gathering barn, where the owners have held a wedding for one of their children and often entertain family and friends. Favorite spots include the hearth of the 40ft tall stone fireplace and the bar in the old granary made from reclaimed chestnut.

The mission of the Mount Vernon Barn Company is to save and repurpose one hundred 19th century Ohio barns and log houses so that they may be enjoyed by future generations and so that we might remember the great age of barns and the men and women who built them. Although the virgin forests of the Eastern United States are forever gone, we feel that with each and every project we are preserving a piece of them.

The mission of Mount Vernon Millworks is to provide an opportunity for local woodworkers to utilize locally-sourced wood to produce high quality distinctive cabinetry and furniture. We use reclaimed, zero carbon footprint wood in many of our projects and minimize the consumption of fossil fuel in the manufacture and delivery of our product.
