Montgomery County Historic Preservation Tax Credits Case Study
9000 Brink Road, Gaithersburg
Fertile Meadows, 14/59
Owners: Stephen and Laura Byers
The Byers family painted their standing seam metal barn roof in 2007 and received a county tax credit for this ordinary maintenance project. The barn is listed in the Master Plan as a dependency to Fertile Meadows, a house built circa 1800, which was historically associated with the Goshen Mill complex.
Regular ordinary maintenance, such as treating this barn roof, ensures preservation of the structure for years to come. Special thanks to the Byers for preservation of this important outbuilding.
