The contractor who did the work, i made the repairs with the understanding, that for each piece of black; walnut board" taken off,1 he would give in exchange three pieces of pine, boarding. ' If Mr. Drifmeyer cared to tear down this valuable building, he. could no -doubt, receive' enough pine lumber in exchange 'for' the black walnut lumber to" build three' modern and substantial barns. " ' Another curious feature about this. old landmark ;is .that, there is not a nfil in it. All the planks, side; boardings and cross beams "are held together by pegs of -"black walnut.
