Nelson P. Boyer Barn

Built in 1894, this historic barn was a sixty-foot by seventy-foot, wood-frame structure that was designed in the Late Gothic Revival style. It was built to stable 100 head of stock for stock breeding, was known at the turn of the twentieth century as the "Showplace of Chester County," and was used by Buffalo Bill as practice and winter quarters.^[2]

In 1990, as the barn was deteriorating rapidly, plans were made to disassemble it and sell it to antique dealer Randy Hilgert of Madison, Connecticut.^[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, and delisted in 1991 after demolition.^[1]
