FEATURE PROJECT: Phineas Beaman Homestead, Princeton, MA This project involved dismantling a 220 year old farmhouse and rebuilding it using the original post and beam frame on a new foundation approximately sixty feet from its original location on the property.  The problem was that the frame could not be used as a structural component... riiiiight.... We'll get back to that later.  In the meantime, here's what we started with and how we took it apart... Before: 1779 Beaman Homestead Dismantling to preserve and reuse the chestnut post and beam frame Putting it back together... Assembled in stories on new I-joist floors. Frame up and braced.
