BLOSSER BARN 1870

However, radical measures were necessary to support the failing foundation level. The barn also took on an elevator tower addition to allow for commercial goals and ADA access for all guests alike. The barn event hall now has a capacity of 300 with additional space for offices, retail and a catering kitchen.
GRANT PARSONAGE 1875
