A German half-timbered #barn at the Baker–Duderstadt Farm in Warren Township, #NewJersey. The barn was built in the mid-nineteenth century and features a #Jerkinhead roof. The barn is significant as a rare Mid-Atlantic example of German construction featuring Fachwerk and a Liegenderstuhl roof truss. This type of construction was more common in German settlements in Wisconsin, Texas, and Missouri and there are no other known examples surviving in New Jersey. The property was continuously farmed by members of the Baker-Duderstadt family for almost 150 years. The Baker family immigrated to America in the early 1840s from Germany. They are attributed to owning the property at the time that the barn was constructed. In 1998, the property was deeded to Somerset County as open space. The grounds are also host to the Baker–Duderstadt farmhouse, built in the early twentieth century, a modern cinder block storage shed, a nineteenth century corn crib, and a large banked barn that was built in the twentieth century. The property was added to the @nationalregisternps in 2008. #nj #njhistory #SpreadTheHistory #historygirl #history #travelblog #travelblogger #blogger #blog #history #ushistory #history #americanhistory #explorenj #njspots #jerseycollective #journeythroughjersey #architecture #archi_ologie #somersetcountynj #warren #warrennj #nrhp #farm (at Baker–Duderstadt Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM8RRmij4OO/?igshid=111s705glilvs
