Drivers got quite the sight between Lake Whitewood and Arlington Thursday. A massive, aging barn, now cut into three pieces, was loaded onto dollies and trucks and moved 17 miles.

The barn built in 1928 is on it's way to Arlington. This is the spot it used to sit but the farmer here says he no longer has use for it. Still some couldn't see it go to waste.

That person is Todd Huntimer. He's taken on a hobby, turning the old back into new again, but this will be his biggest and most expensive project.

“Raising it a little bit to give us some more room to store antique tractors in the main part of it. The hay lofts are still going to be used for some hay and other for storage but the main thing was to save a pretty, historical landmark,” Huntimer said.

Leo Falconer knows the history behind the barn. His great-grandfather homesteaded the land in 1880 and it stayed in the family until his father had to sell the land for medical reasons in 1960, but the family still talks about the summer this barn was built.

“My father and his brother, Weldon, they each took a team of horses with a buckboard into Oldham that summer to get the lumber off the train,” Falconer said.

Now 81 years later, that same barn is on it's way down the road. While it's split into three pieces the largest part of the barn is about the size of a professional basketball court, which can run into a lot of obstacles like power lines, trees, even mailboxes.

While the old barn's seen better days, Huntimer expects that to change in a few years.

“All the nice barns with all the neat architecture are disappearing unless you throw a lot of money into them so kind of hard to do, just like to save at least save one,” Huntimer said.

For those knew the barn when it was still red, they couldn't be happier.

“I'm so glad to see that he's going to do that you know, just a lot of excitement,” Falconer said.

Falconer says this barn is unique because of the Gothic Arch style, the fact that it has 50 windows and instead of hinges the doors run on tracks. Huntimer paid $10,000 for the barn, but says that will be the cheapest part of the project.
