Photographs one through twenty-two document further work on the purlin cradle that was built to prevent a roof collapse in the 1857 Barn. The cradle was designed to rest on the rear wall of the north seed room. This wall would need to be reinforced so that it could support the weight of the cradle and the roof directly over it. These plates were used to join two, four-by-four pieces of lumber set atop the seed room wall. Two-by-four lumber was used to strengthen the north seed room wall. Several photos show Jim Gumbert adding these two-by-fours.
