"Only the center aisle of the Losee Dutch barn survives and the columns have been cut down level near the tops of the anchorbeams. It is dated "MD1770 on the first internal anchorbeam. Despite the present differences in the proportions of the Losee and (neighboring) Mosher barns, they were originally twins, probably made about the same time by the same carpenters who used many unusual features, such as: the 4x11 inch anchorbeam braces and the 11'6" side aisles. The Losee barn originally had har-hung wagon doors on the front and key-hinged wagon doors on the back... The original form of the Losee barn could be reconstructed using the measurements of the Mosher Dutch barn."
