Notes
  • Significance: The ca. 1794 barn is one of western Pennsylvania's oldest surviving stone barns. This type of Pennsylvania bank barn, known as a Sweitzer or Swiss barn, was commonly built into a hillside by eighteenth and nineteenth century Germans with an earth ramp to the haymow. Sweitzer or Swiss barns also featured a projecting frame forebay, slit ventilators in the stone gable wall, and a saltbox roof shape. This Newmyer Barn also illustrates the phenomenon that different ethnic groups borrowed building techniques from one another during this period. By using an English roofing system atop an essentially Germanic barn, the barn epitomizes the fusion of European building customs prevalent in late eighteenth century western Pennsylvania.
