The former home of the Centerville/Washington Township Garden Club. I was looking for a nice space to house my first car project, the 1911 Cadillac.

The for sale sign was tiny and laying in the ditch by the road. The deadline for submitting a bid for the property was a couple days away. We also submitted a letter saying we would keep the barn and not tear it down. We were going to plant fruit trees and grape vines. The ladies in the Garden Club approved the sale to us.

We had to reside the barn because the cedar shakes were falling off. The ladies had cut out some support posts inside stressing the building. We put in some engineered beams for strength.

Lastly, a 50 X 42 foot addition was placed in back after might fighting with the zoning commission and building planners of Montgomery County.
