The living room formerly was the hay mow, with floor joists and black walnut floor from the Bucks County added. “This room is a great area for entertaining,” Mrs. Holland points out. The room’s atmosphere is created by its depth (it measures 20 by 40 feet), which Mrs. Holland has accentuated with two double trees (a piece of wooden equipment used to harness horses to a carriage) suspended from the ceiling and used to support hanging flower baskets. The family also has a swinging wicker chair hung from above. Adding more flavor to the room are the windows. They are long, narrow vertical portals which serve three purposes-they allow the sun to brighten the area, they accentuate the height of the room, and they replicate the ventilation slits built into barns. Similar windows adorn each wall of the house, and each room they illuminate has a different flavor. For instance, the kitchen. It is the most “enjoyed” room of the house, and features Rutt cabinets made from birchwood and stained with yellow alcohol to let the grain exposed; counter tops created from handmade ceramic tile, and a floor surfaced with handmade Mexican tile.

Below all this, on the granary level, is an apart ment for William Holland’s mother and some office space. The downstairs foyer floor leading into the apartment and .office is made of crosscut logs of cherry, walnut, and oak wood. Also in this foyer area is a brick wall constructed from red bricks originally used to seal the entire granary from rodents. “The brick was formerly under the wood, which we pulled off. Then, we decided to move the brick into the foyer and decorate the wall lood start ARCADIAN See me now.

To move between the many levels of the house, the Hollands built a 12 x 12 foot cinderblock structure which is sunken in the ground and runs the whole height of the dwelling. The structure is multipurpose;, housing two wood boxes, three fireplaces, a circular stairwell, and all the separate flues for the fireplaces. “There’s not a bit of space wasted with that box,” Mrs. Holland points out. The major fireplace in the up stairs living quarters is faced with stone taken from the walls of the bam when windows were set in, offering a very attractive addition to the living and dining rooms. As can be imagined from the size of the rooms and the open space, heating can be a problem with this bam, as well as many others. .

But, for the Hollands, the heating bills aren’t enough to detract from their unique house. “I always thought that it would be nice to live in a bam,” notes Mrs. Holland. “And, if there is one thing we tried to achieve, it was that the house would always look like a bam.” Ihey have achieved that goal.
