About
The Barn, which overlooks Williamsport's Byron Memorial Park, was built circa 1755 by Otho Holland Williams, the founder of Williamsport. The Town of Williamsport purchased this barn in 1987. This eight bay frame barn is 56 feet wide and nearly 168 feet long with a raised-seam roof. The first section, built over 200 years ago and set on stone foundations, is a four-bay bank barn with two open brick granaries. One of these has simple open brickwork ventilation holes. The other four bays were built somewhat later and in the 1880's, Victorian trim and nine ventilators were added along the ridge of the roof. Within the barn, the original cedar shakes are still visible.
The Barn's interior consists of original beams and ceiling masts with solid wood flooring throughout. The rentable space is approx. 5,000 sq. ft., capable of accommodating up to 460 guests. (200 with tables/chairs)
There is an elevated stage-like area that can be used for additional seating, musical & theatrical performances, as well as ceremonies & presentations.
A private barn yard in the rear of the building is accessible from the inside of the barn and offers an intimate outdoor setting.
