Inscription. This log building was originally used as a barn. At the Heritage Center, it is being used as a combination blacksmith and carpenter shop.

The log barn was donated to the Center by Agnes and Anthony Tamoshaitis in memory of Agnes' parents, Albert and Alice Ailts. It comes from their last home and homestead, located in the Town of Stanton, about 8 miles northeast of New Richmond, near St. Bridget's Catholic Church on County Road T. It was probably built by a James Lee, around or before 1875. It was the only barn along that road at the time.

The roof of the building and the logs of the walls were moved separately and reassembled at the Center.

Erected by New Richmond Heritage Center.
