A carriage barn originally built circa 1870 stood on this site and was rumored to have been moved here in 1910. It was a two-bay timber-framed building made of hand-hewn six-by-six-inch beams with mortise-and-tenon joinery. Originally used to store carriages or sleighs, it was modified by the 1930s to house migrant workers as the farm's needs changed. These changes affected the building's structural integrity: part of a structural tie beam was removed for a second-floor double-hung window at the upper west end, the roof was cut for a dormer to provide headroom and light, and ribbon windows were added below the dormer for additional light on the main floor. Construction materials included packing crates, tamarack log beams, and reused silo staves for joists. Further unsound alterations over the years, combined with deterioration, made demolition necessary in the fall of 2004. When it was demolished, only a couple of corner boulders, some concrete blocks, and a stump remained of the foundation. A replica was completed in 2007 with historic preservation millage funds, community development block grant funds, and a donation from Charles, Loyal, and William Eldridge.
