Showcase Spotlight 2025: Victorian Cottages

Victorian Cottages On Display at The Barn Yard

This year, there are two Victorian Cottages on display at the Ellington Showcase, each with a modern dormer. The modern dormer first appeared on the shed series in 2023 and it’s been a popular option ever since. This dormer allows for a seamless connection to the shed’s windows, letting in more light than ever before. Let’s take a closer look at these two standout sheds.

10' x 14' Victorian Cottage

The first of these Victorian Cottages is 10' x 14', with Duratemp Siding in the new color Flat Black. An arched timber frame accent truss in the front gable was manufactured and pre-stained at our Ellington manufacturing facility. The modern dormer on this shed has three panels, connecting with three 24" x 48" windows. Inside, you can see how much light this dormer provides. This shed has a workbench on the back wall, ideal for a workshop, potting shed, or as an extra shelf for organization.

12' x 16' Victorian Cottage

This 12' x 16' Victorian Cottage has a four panel modern dormer. This dormer transitions smoothly into the four 24" x 48" windows beneath it, effectively creating a wall of windows that let in light. This shed has Duratemp siding in the premium color Mopboard Black. 6' wood double doors with transom windows open to reveal the interior. Shingled boot returns on the front gable neatly complete the roofline.

Grand Victorians On Display at our Ellington Showcase

Showcase Spotlight 2025: Grand Victorians

On display at our Ellington Showcase are three stunning Grand Victorians that show off the series’ range and versatility. One serves as a sleek garage with plenty of windows. The other combines natural colors with rustic flair. Lastly, one has been transformed, with sliding doors and a timber frame overhang that will look great by a poolside. Let’s take a photo tour of these three Grand Victorians.

76' x 105' Timber Frame Airplane Hangar

Timber Framing the Airplane Hangar: Part Two

In January, we completed the landmark raising of a 76' x 105' timber airplane hangar. Over 77,000 board feet of Douglas Fir timbers were raised and joined with hardwood oak pegs. This raising was a significant feat for The Barn Yard. Since then, our crew has continued to work diligently to assemble the weather-tight shell, install siding, windows, and the 65' hydraulic tilt-up door. Let’s take a look at some recent photos.
