We care deeply for old buildings and their historical significance to their location.
Our first goal when approached about dismantling a post and beam structure is to keep the building on its original site. However, if that is not possible, we work to keep the reconstructed building as close to the original site as possible. Consequently, discounts are often offered in order to help make this happen. If a building is not able to be kept locally, they may be relocated in other areas.
One Story Cape Frame
Although this photo shows a two-story building this is actually a 1770’s post and beam 30’x 38’ cape with summer beam ceiling structure and a rafter/purlin roof system. In the first part of the nineteenth century, the roof structure was raised up and a second story was added. The building was carefully documented and photographed and will be reassembled as a single-story cape as it was original constructed in the 1770’s.

Barnstead Little Cape - SOLD
This house was destined for the wrecking ball to make room for an addition to a barn. It's unique size - 18' x 38' and room configuration inspired Bedard Preservation to save it. It had two large rooms, a pantry, a birthing room and very small back room. The two large rooms and small back room had fireplaces. With the addition of an ell, which could house a kitchen and master bedroom suite, this would be a great starter or retirement home.
