I am hoping someone on the list can help me with this. I am trying to date an old barn
on my husband's family homeplace. The square nails were used on it. Would anyone
know when the square nails ceased to be used? The old farmhouse (torn down about 1976)
was built in 1877 and I don't know if the barn stood before the farmhouse or not.
