This one's been standing a long time. Weathered siding, old gambrel bones, history baked into every board. Bay & Bent, Antique Building Solutions, and Three Ten Timber are the team that decides what comes next, whether that's salvaging the materials, raising a new frame, or giving a structure like this a whole new life.

Taking this one apart piece by piece. Every beam pulled gets sorted, stacked, and saved, ready to go back up somewhere it'll stand another hundred years.

Western Pennsylvania reclaimed timber frame project underway. Multiple species of wood, all hand-hewn, all sourced from 19th-century barns. The history in these beams is unmatched. That's how we do it.

Not every beam makes it through 150 years in perfect shape.

Sometimes you have to meet the old and the new halfway. That's the job.

Loaded up and heading out.

These timbers have been standing since before your grandparents were born. Now they're strapped to a flatbed, tagged, and on their way to their next life.

This is the part of the process most people never see, the careful dismantling, the numbering, the loading. Every beam accounted for. Nothing wasted.

We never know what we're going to find when we walk into an old barn.

1925 Pennsylvania plates nailed to a beam. Horseshoes still hanging like someone's coming back for them. Hardware so old it was probably forged by hand. A bolt that's been sliding open the same door for a hundred years.

Every barn we walk into has this stuff, the layers that built up quietly over generations. It's part of why we do what we do.

These places deserve more than a bulldozer.

British Columbia, circa 1917. The timber that built America didn't come easy. Every beam in every antique barn carries a story of hard work, skill, and craftsmanship. At Bay & Bent, we make sure those stories get a second chapter.
