- Architectural note:
- The barn is constructed of a heavy timber frame with pole rafters. Krause introduced features on the Tavern that became common in the post-Revolution years: oversized bricks laid in Flemish-bond, elliptical window arches, a central-passage plan, and the first front porch in the town.
- Historical note:
- The barn of the Beverly Jones Plantation at Bethania, near Winston-Salem, North Carolina, was built in 1849 as shelter for livestock and hay. It was constructed of heavy timber, hand hewn by the slaves on the plantation. The barn was so well planned and solidly constructed, that throughout its 115 years of active service, no major changes have been necessary. In 1958, the barn was donated to the Old Salem Restoration Program and in early 1961 it was dismantled and reconstructed at the Salem Tavern lot in Old Salem where it now stands as an example of early utilitarian construction in North Carolina. Salem Tavern is both a National Historic Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
