We think the Dutch Barn was built in the early 20th century.

We don't know exactly when the Dutch Barn was built, but the company A & J Main & Co Ltd of Glasgow and London was established in the 1860s in Port Dundas, Glasgow, by brothers Alexander J. and James A. R. Main, who were an estate factor and an iron-gate and wire manufacturer respectively, originally from near Edinburgh, and closed in 1968.
We are planning to keep the West section of the Dutch Barn for animals and wood storage. The East side will be space for parking.
