PORTER TWP., Pa. (EYT) – The Delp Barn near the Leatherwood Church on Delp Road was built in 1836 as part of a family farm started by German immigrants, but it is now going to have a continued life throughout the United States after a crew from Barnwood Builders, a popular television show on DIY Network, recently lovingly disassembled the barn for use in other projects.

The show also provided a surprise ending at the close of the first of a two part series about the farm.

The barn was a Pennsylvania bank barn, a sturdy and reliable structure built by German immigrants in the 1830’s.  Not only were the immigrants good farmers, they were also excellent builders, and the Barnwood Builders marveled at the craftsmanship that allowed the barn to stand since 1836.
