Some history about the barn; The lot is part of what was the Velde Farm, owned by Helen Piersol Velde and her husband William Velde. Mrs Velde's father, Caleb Piersol, moved to the farm on the day he was married on March 31, 1893. The barn is of oak and dowel construction. Piersol was quoted in a 1957 "County Leader" article, at age 90, as saying, "Make sure to mention that I owned one of the best fox-hunting horses in the country."
