Along with Tom Silva, historic timber frame expert Arron Sturgis and his crew carefully dismantles the timber frame, identifying pieces that are structurally sound to rebuild the structure. Similar to the main house, the ell was constructed using the Scribe Rule method, meaning each piece has a specific match piece, so the timbers first had to be tagged for proper reassembly.
