From the September 2005 SVHS Calendar Lonnie Garrett Barn (Turnerville) "This barn was built in 1917 by Delos Turner, who was 16, and Clifford Turner, who was 15, with help from neighbors while their father, Rawsel, was on a mission. It was a cow milking barn typical to the area. The foundation was hand mixed concrete with large rocks added. The timber was Douglas Fir sawed at the Turnerville sawmill. Currently, the barn is being made into a gathering place for the family. Plywood was put over the rough lumber in the loft and large windows were put in the gable ends. The lower part will be excavated and new concrete floors with be poured. Restrooms, kitchen and a dining area will be added."
