Last week we met Sandy and his wife, newly minted homeowners of a Yankee Barn farmhouse known as Freedom Hill. Today we’ll take you inside the farmhouse and relay the story of how the farmhouse came to be and the wonderful story of lifetime friendships that played a role in the name of this house.…
This is a story of a farmhouse named “Freedom Hill”. We’ll get to the origins of the name in part two of this post. Today, I want to relay how this Yankee Barn came to be. The homeowners always dreamed of building a post and beam and, as now happens quite often, found us on…
The Proctor farmhouse, a post and beam home by Yankee Barn, is looking good. Nearing completion, the homeowners have been working like crazy to complete their home in time for the summer season. It has been an amazing project to watch (see Floor Plans and Update for previous posts on this home). The homeowners have…
When we last saw this post and beam farmhouse being built in Dunstable, MA, the home moved out of the drafting software stage and was becoming a reality. New England winter storms were raging, but building was occurring. Now we have photos of progress over the past month. It’s really quite amazing, both inside and…
This post and beam farmhouse is going to be a beauty. Originally presented as renderings and floor plans in a previous post, The Proctor is a barn home farmhouse designed to provide that sense of permanence and stability we all need in our home. Nothing does this better than the solid (and beautiful) post and…

This Yankee Barn cottage on Lake Champlain is pretty near perfect. The body of the house is not all that large, yet the building has space for everything you’d need in a lakeside cottage. The best feature is the fantastic wrap around screened-in porch that faces the lake. Used by day as a place to have…

Jeffery Rosen, both architectural designer and interior decorator for this project, has…
My most recent post was on the Yankee Barn Homes contemporary barn-style farmhouse, located in East Hampton, NY. I never thought the professionally taken photographs would begin to come in so soon after posting on this house. Guess what? I could not have been more wrong! These exterior photos are so clean and clear, at…
Post and Beam Living has followed this Connecticut Yankee Barn contemporary farmhouse style home as it has gone from the drawing board, shown in the first post Follow A Contemporary Barn-Style Farmhouse to beginning construction five months ago in the second post A Contemporary Barn Home Farmhouse Progresses, to today when you’ll see the progress…
Large and small windows in a Yankee Barn home are a major consideration you’ll undertake early on when building a new post & beam structure. “Windows are to a building what a sculptor’s chisel is to a block of stone”. A good friend of mine told me that once. I laughed a bit and said…
Although this house is not yet finished, I wanted to share a few scouting photos with you as this post and beam barn home has some very nice architectural features. I love the front porch of this home as you rarely see a hipped roof on a porch these days. It is a perfect way…
