The Essex
This beautiful barn was originally a reproduction designed to replace the original in Essex, MA. It’s being used as an antique and home furnishings shop, but don’t let that stop you from using it to keep your farm equipment, vehicles, or livestock indoors! At 48′ by 38′, this is one of our larger barns, offering a 1,622-square-foot second floor for office or play space. Or, convert the upper floor into a residence larger than many homes!

The Plans
Timber frame barns are completely at home in a rural environment. They’ve been a part of the New England geography for centuries, after all! Brooks Post & Beam barns and garages are made primarily of native New Hampshire native lumber – since they’re not necessarily insulated, the walls are often made of wood shiplap.
And while any timber frame structure will allow for flexibility, a barn can be even more versatile and responsive over time as your needs change. Just move the walls if you decide you want to turn your horse stalls into a parking area, apartment or art studio!

Support & consulting
From gathering ideas to putting the final touches on your project, Brooks Post & Beam is your guide. We provide a roadmap of what to expect, turn your needs and wants into professional timber frame designs and, in turn, frames, and we support and strengthen your relationships with contractors.
Our decades of experience and our personal relationships with clients allow us to support them with empathy and integrity. Each person who works in our small company gets to know our clients in a way that makes this support a personal mission for each of us: We want to make your dream a reality and protect you from foreseeable trouble in the process.
We recognize that erecting the timber frame is only the beginning of the construction process. We will remain available to you and your builder throughout the process, to answer any questions and to offer suggestions on construction details, materials, and finishes. And we hope that you will invite us back when the project is complete so that we may take photos of your completed project for our photo gallery!
