This house has quite a story to tell, and you can read about it in the New York Times article linked below. The beams of the great room come from an English hay barn built circa 1540. (Shakespeare could have visited that barn!) They were brought in pieces to the U.S. and lovingly reconstructed for this house. This is a one-of-a kind house. Very special.
