John Jay Carriage Barn
Bedford NY, 2009
This rustic stone and timber-framed carriage barn, part of the John Jay Homestead State Historic Site, was built for the New York governor in the early 19th century and remains remarkably intact. It has been used continuously in its original capacity until recently, when the Friends of John Jay Homestead sought to restore the barn and create a focal point for the interpretive experience at the site.
JHPA was hired to survey all portions of the building and create existing conditions drawings, schematic programming diagrams, and a full set of Construction Documents for complete restoration. While most of the structure and layout were intact, the accumulation of accretions required careful documentation of the original components. Missing details throughout the structure further complicated the task of confirming the original intent and providing new elements to complete the site.
JHPA is currently working with the client and an exhibition consultant to help integrate the new program into the restoration plans. New features will include a reception center, upgraded washroom facilities, and a media-friendly space for screening and presentations. Construction is expected to begin in summer of 2009.
