Brett Trefethen slides closed the doors of a Vienna barn that he plans to raze to reclaim the boards. The firm he runs with his wife, Barn Boards and More, repurposes the wood for furniture and other construction projects. Trefethen believes the structure, originally a hotel, was utilized by guests in the 19th century who visited a nearby mineral spring.
