REBUILT FARMHOUSE & FRAMED BARNS

According to Roger Nathaniel Lane, the original farmhouse burned in 1903.  Emery Orson Lane rebuilt the house. Furthermore: 

“He, with a small crew, ‘raised’ many barns of the ‘hewn beam, tenon and pin’ construction in the locality, and was considered the very best for miles around. He framed each side flat on the ground, then with ropes and pulleys, with the power of oxen, would raise them all at once, pinning them together when they were all the way up and fell into place. Located on the ‘Brad Farrington Farm’ in Fayette Ridge, and on the ‘George Gile Farm’ near Fayette Corner, are two [barns] which are still standing and in use [in 1966].”
