Article Abstract:
An 18th-century structure that was mere weeks away from being demolished was salvaged by a couple and used to build an addition to their existing home. The prize of their efforts was the building's centuries-old chestnut post-and-beam framing that they re-erected and used as the addition's structural skeleton.
