Bringing a Historic Roof up to Date

The original slate roof of the 1883 timber-framed Standard Pennsylvania-style barn on the historic Hartong Homestead in Green, Ohio, had deteriorated beyond repair. Braun & Steidl Architects were called in to oversee needed repairs. Single-Width composite tiles with a slate finish were installed. The composite slate was able to recreate the original appearance of the 1883 construction date.
