| Description |
English: Door Prairie Barn
The Door Prairie Barn was built in 1882 for Marion J. Ridgway. He was a horse and cattle breeder whose grandfather, James Ridgway purchased 3,200 acres (1,300 hectares) in this area in 1831. The barn and farm are called Door Prairie, the name given to the rich layer of black loam (earth) in this area. The barn, which has nine sides was built by John Jeffrey of LaPorte. The beams were cut in a sawmill and some have numbers stamped on their ends suggesting a type of prefabrication. Only the sills were hand hewn and they rested on nine nests of round fieldstones - one at each corner. In 2001 the barn was straightened, lifted off the unstable fieldstones and bolted to a new concrete foundation, which incorporates the original stones. This and interior reconstruction was done by Fred Utroske of Union Mills. |
