The Thunder Oak Barn is a large antique barn, a 42 by 60-foot testament to 19th-century craftsmanship. Circa 1900, this classic gable barn boasts a substantial 2520 square foot footprint, constructed with robust oak timbers that have borne the weight of time and weather with impressive resilience.
The Thunder Oak Barn hails from Emlenton, established as early as 1798, but no houses were built until 1834. This barn was built in the early 1900's as part of the original growth of the region.
The barn's frame is made of hand-hewn timber meticulously joined to form a structure of undeniable strength and character. Its 5/4/variable bent/bay spacing reveals a design optimized for functionality and durability. While currently a single-story building, the barn's soaring roofline hints at the potential for a transformative loft conversion.
