Scope and Content:

Undated photographic print of Walker's Barns at 276 North Main Street in Concord, NH. The caption, written in 1957, states, "Walker's Barns 1830 The barn on the left is at the corner of Main and Penacook streets and was erected on the site of the first one built by the First Minister when it gave place to this more modern structure erected in 1830 and is still in use (1957) It is eighty feet long by forty feet wide, is entered at the ends and has a driveway twelve feet wide extending through its entire length, on each side of which are bays for the storage of hay. As originally constructed, it had a stable for cattle on the east side of the driveway, and a small stable for horses in the south-west section. The main timbers are of sawed hard pine, and its roof boards, which extend without piecing from ridge to eves, are of the same material. The other timbers, plank, and boards are of white pine. These, delivered upon the side and ready for use, cost in 1830, seven dollars per thousand. The barn on the right was erected a few years later."
