had surface alterations such as the siding and roof, they are reversible; the 

 house possesses good historic integrity. 



b. Barn (PR-228) 



The Strain/Teixeira Ranch barn, located across Pine Gulch Creek from 

 the ranch complex, was reportedly built by Henry Strain before 1870. It is a 

 two-story, 45' by 84' wood frame structure with random-width vertical board 

 siding. There are doors on the east and north sides. The gable roof, originally 

 shingled, has been covered with corrugated metal. The interior is a large open 

 space with a partial hayloft on the north and west walls. The west wall slopes 

 out to become a stall area, in which up to thirty cows would be placed for 

 milking in wood stanchions, which are extant. The floor is wood planking. A 

 lean-to feeding structure is attached to the west side. The barn is currently 

 used for storage. Storm damage on the southwest corner was repaired in 1993. 

 There is termite damage and the barn is in fair condition. It has excellent 

 historic integrity. 



c. Horse Barn (PR-229) 



The three-story 27' by 28' board and batten horse barn was reportedly 

 built about 1876 by Henry Strain. It faces south and is located on the ranch 

 access road. It has a gable roof with composition shingles with a wall dormer 

 facing south. The upper floors were converted to a residence in 1971. The 

 lower story is in use as a shop and is not significantly altered. The front 

 (south) side had vinyl siding applied in 1990; new windows are aluminum sash. 

 Because of the alterations the horse barn possesses little historic integrity, but 

 it could be restored in the future if funds allowed. 



d. Bridges (PR-231 & PR-232) 



A 15-foot long footbridge (PR-231), built of log stringers, with a six-foot 

 wide wood plank deck and wooden handrails, crosses Pine Gulch Creek from 

 the Grade A barn to the old barn. It was built before 1900, is abandoned, and is 

 in poor condition. A second bridge (PR-232) was built for automobiles north of 

 the footbridge. It is 29' long, 15' wide, with concrete abutments, heavy timber
