The property owner desired to move his corporate art business to this structure located adjacent to his residence. The barn built in 1885 is designated an historic property on the Montgomery County Register, allowing only for modifications to the interior of the building. Approximately one-third of the interior space was built-out to include a two level gallery with a 23 foot high ceiling, offices and viewing areas, with additional space for storage of artwork. The character of the old barn was maintained on the inside by using steel angles as a means of support, “floating walls” were built to enhance the original structure by standing free of them, leaving all the original timbers visible. The second level of the space has a catwalk style floor that allows one to look down to the lower level.
