Dream Barn Home Built To Realize 35 Year Dream
Pearl Casson a housekeeping manager at Presbyterian Home built a new house at 1103 East Washington Street modeled as a barn with timber frame and stone wall. Architect David Yoder Kalona drafted plans, builder David Horsey Washington completed the major work. The open three story interior features English plank floors quarry tile and a winding staircase. A 1910 style electric stove stained glass windows and antique furnishings complete the replica while a London hay carrier and a cupola echo the old barn heritage.
