This photo was taken in 1944 by the owners, Cummings and Elizabeth Lothrop. The barn in the picture was constructed out of parts of the first church in Windham, built about 1795. The original location was the corner of Webb and Chute roads. Abandoned after the new church was built at Windham Hill, the structure was sold and moved in 1861 to a site on the lower River Road. The building was taken apart, and all the components were numbered. The purchaser used the 6-inch-square timbers, doors and other parts to build this barn, which he used for nearly a century. The Lothrops bought the property in the early 1940s, researched the building, wrote about it and that research is in the archives of the Windham Historical Society. Both the barn and the house (which was more than 200 years old) were purchased by Central Maine Power in 1956 and the buildings torn down in 1959.
