PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
A Hub of Business & Technology
Welcome to the Largest Mortis & Tenon Structure in the World!
This three story structure is constructed in the old-world tradition using wooden pegs to hold the morris and tenon wood joints together. The expansive building, longer than a football field, features hundreds of solid heavy timber beams, columns and braces that are prepared with mortis and tenons, cut and notched together for the framing of the three-story barn structure. It has three towering cupolas with the center cupola topping out at 84-feet high. High clerestory windows provide natural lighting and ventilation for the large open interior spaces in the barn. It is air-conditioned and can be open year-round. The columns, slope beams and braces were harvested locally and sawed on an Indiana Amish farm. The logs are from white and red oak, hickory, beech and poplar trees. Most of the beams are from seasoned douglas firs that were shipped from Idaho on nine trucks. The largest timbers, making up the center court, are a gigantic 16†X 16 ft.; and came to the building site over 40 ft. long! The Troyer Group, an architectural, engineering and construction management firm, designed the heavy timber frame to withstand winds up to 100 miles per hour.
