“I am into barns,” said Lloyd Ziegler, a member of the Pennsylvania Historic Farm Structures organization. “(Members) go around documenting all these old barns because when they’re gone, they’re gone,” added Ziegler. Because of his interest in barns, Ziegler was excited to discover a chevron house door, which had been recycled as a granary entry door in the bank barn of the Zimmerman or Old Wallace Plantation along Route 322 in East Earl. Ziegler sent a photo of the door, which has been donated by the barn’s present owner to the New Holland Area Historical Society, to his friend Greg Huber, an architectural barn historian and author of “The Historic Barns of Southeastern Pennsylvania: Architecture & Preservation, Built 1750 1900.” Huber, who lives in Macungie, wrote back that the chevron door is rare because these doors are only found in southeastern Pennsylvania, and they were only utilized in 18th-century buildings. Huber noted a few examples of these doors, including one at Fort Zeller in Lebanon County, one at the Keim homestead near
Oley Valley, and one at the Moravian Gemeinhaus in Bethlehem. He noted that a few others are in existence as well. During a tour of the barn in late August 2020, Ziegler stated that he knew the house that accompanied the barn was built in 1766, but he was not sure that the barn was built the same year. “I have never Members of the board of trustees of the New Holland Area seen (a barn) Historical Society who accepted the donation of a rare where you step up chevron door from a local barn include (from left) into the granary,” Don Horning, Scott Martin, and Wilbur Horning. he said. “(Farmers) would bring grain in here ety. “As a younger person, I area was referred to as Waland store it up (at a higher helped to put tobacco away. lacetown.
