WINDY ACRES DICKERSON BARN PROJECT |
|
Our Dickerson "Windy Acres" Barn project moves forward under the leadership of local contracter Ken Brock and Associates.
Ken was the contracter for the Maybury barn move and also moving a barn off Sheldon road to a new Northville park being developed on Napier Rd north of Six mile rd. That barn is very simular to our barn with the exception of it having a basement.
