Exterior of the South Addition in the foreground;
South Extension and the peak of the 1857 Barn in
the background. Looking west. The 1857 Barn roof was in poor condition. It had a number of areas where water
would leak into the barn during rain storms or when roof snow melted. Tarps were used to cover the roof to
prevent those leaks. Anchor ropes are shown extending from the edge of the tarp on the 1857 Barn
roof to anchor points on the South Extension.

Exterior of the 1857 Barn, southwest side. Looking east. This is one of the first of several tarps placed on the roof to stop leaks. The tarp is held
in place by 2x4 lumber anchored to the rafters through the shingles. The hope was to significantly slow interior
water damage until a new roof could be put on the barn.

Exterior of the 1857 Barn, southwest side. Looking east. Another view of an early tarp placed on the barn. Unfortunately, as it turned out, these tarps
did not have a satisfactory service life. They were significantly degraded by the elements during the time that work was being done on the barn.
