In this image you can see a large rock and cement blocks being used as intermediates between posts and the earth floor to prevent post rot. We think these large blocks are known as fieldstones because of comparison with similarly designed barn foundations in the region from the same era. Apparently, fieldstones would have been commonly used when the first barn was constructed at this location in the latter half of the 19th century. In 1906-1909 when this barn was under construction, Portland Cement (no relation to Portland, OR) had just been introduced as a preferable and available resource. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6058a7534b25896590fcfa34/1620518136240-FHVMGCPR50W5BLP2WHO4/IMG_2252.jpeg Episodes - Prince Albert in a Can Another boulder supporting a post under the barn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6058a7534b25896590fcfa34/1620518780150-XMBT752IH1ORB0OI7A9A/IMG_3306.jpeg Episodes - Prince Albert in a Can A bottle opener hanging from a nail. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6058a7534b25896590fcfa34/1620483853273-0PABSC4BB3KZ2IWTOJ91/IMG_3054.jpeg Episodes - Prince Albert in a Can Here you can see the ramp sloping up to the (south facing) main floor of the barn.
