Len bought the farm in 1987 after it had been abandoned for many
years. It consisted of two farm houses and the barn which were
all in major disrepair. Len knew he would renovate both of the
houses but was not sure what could be done with the barn. After
he completed the first house, he renovated the second, which is
affectionately known as "the little house." Len rented both
houses out, and realized at that point he would have to live in the
barn!
So
began a "works in progress," and what you see below is very different
from what you see today.
Len and Diane now occupy the barn on
a full-time basis. There are apartments, an antique shop, hidden
passageways, horse stables, and who knows what the future may bring.
What makes the barn particularly unique are the two stained glass
windows at both gable ends of the barn. Len discovered them at a
salvage yard in northern Vermont. They had come from a church
that was demolished in Utica, New York.
Below
are some pictures of our other occupants.

New arrivals in the spring are always lots of fun.
