Thomas Pomeroy Barn

Body

The Pomeroy Farm is, in its entirety, a 677 acre site located in northeastern Clark County approximately three miles southwest of the small town of Yacolt. The four acre parcel in the nomination represents the heart of the farmstead and includes a log house constructed in 1920 and 13 outbuildings constructed between 1900 and 1940. The farmstead is located on Lucia Falls Road just north of the East Fork of the Lewis River, an area still sparsely settled and still reflecting farm life in Clark County during the early years of this century.

The large dairy/horse barn sits on an east-west axis on the western perimeter of the nominated four acres. It is a large 40 by 60 foot timber framed structure with a high, slightly double pitched gable roof which sweeps from a height of 35 feet to eight feet above the ground at the eaves. The eastern front gable has a protruding peak at the apex. The roof has been covered with corrugated metal. The barn sits on large log and squared timber sills. It is sided with unpainted vertical planks. Openings are irregular: there are a number of swinging hinged doors in either gable end and each side elevation has four small four-lighted stationary windows. The interior is divided into three major sections by the log and squared timber frame of the barn. The large central space is open and the side sections are divided into feeding stalls. The barn houses a variety of old equipment associated with horses and cattle. It was built in the 1930s by Thomas Pomeroy.

  • Listed in the Washington Heritage Barn Register
  • The Pomeroy Living History Farm with all of its 13 associated buildings is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Clark County Historic Register.
