Description

Henry Davis Log Barn

"This livestock barn represents the typical early 20th century chestnut
log livestock barns built during the first half of the
20th century in the Spring Creek township. The log corner notching is
the simpler saddle notch that requires less time and skill than the
earlier half dovetail notch or Vnotch, and represents the later
generation of log building in Madison County.
This barn includes some logs that have scarring from the
chestnut blight disease, indicating that those trees were cut
after the chestnut blight infected the chestnut trees of the
region, around 1924. Typical of most early 20th century log
barns, this one has been adapted for use in the air curing of
burley tobacco which became the primary cash crop in the
early 1920s, as flue-cured tobacco was being phased out."
