A grant-funded project undertaken by Deschutes Land Trust and Blackrock Contracting Inc. is ensur- ing that that skeleton of the historic building remains standing. Blackrock Contracting is removing rotten sills and rot- ten portions of vertical posts; re-pegging dislocated posts; and making the structure plumb and stabilizing it with knee braces and guy wires. They are also jacking up and stabilizing all post bottoms, putting the posts on concrete footings which will help pre- vent rot. The concrete will be buried and not visible to the casual eye. The Land Trust will also mark the extent of the origi- nal footprint of the 75-by- 50-foot post-and-beam struc- ture, which is larger than the interior skeleton that remains. The wooden structure has been battered by time and the elements. According to Deschutes Land Trust, “In 1990 a wind- storm severely damaged the failing roof, after which the owners removed the remain- ing section of roof and all of the siding. In 2000, when the Deschutes Land Trust acquired the land and created Camp Polk Meadow Preserve, the remains of the barn were shored up and supported by cables and rope. However, the barn timbers continued to deteriorate and destabilize.” For several years, the Land Trust has contemplated how best to handle the structure. “This included consult- ing with Deschutes County and its Historical Landmarks See BARN on page 29 SISTERS AREA MEETING CALENDAR BOARDS, GROUPS, CLUBS Central Oregon Fly Tyers Guild 4th Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For location information: 541-549-2072.
