Keyser Barn Renovation Nearing Completion

Reconstruction is about 70 percent complete, but city leaders are still searching for fresh volunteers to get the job done.

After weeks of reconstruction, the barn is beginning to look like its old self.

Three of the four walls have been re-sided with volunteers currently laboring to rebuild the fourth, fresh coats of paint have added new life to the aging structure, and within weeks, the barn will be completely restored.

“We’re about 70 percent done overall,” said Cuyahoga Falls Law Director Paul Janis who’s leading the volunteer effort.
