The "garage" at the Dayton House is actually a barn. This is the loft. That's a lot of extra space for storage -- and it would make a nice office or outside space.
This is the view from the hay loft. The door opens and you can see the side yard from a unique perspective. I don't know how many city houses still have their barn intact, but this one is. The square footage for the footprint is 432 feet, but you get the same amount of area upstairs too. It also has a drain so when you clean the floor, you can hose it down and the water will drain.
A barn is a unique and useful part of this old house.
Hey, the house is looking good. I was over there Saturday. You're not going to want to sell it by the time everything's done! I'd never seen the upstairs of the barn, lots more space than I would have guessed.
