The Schick-Ostolasa Horse Barn

Check out our very own, Frank Eld, in the Dry Creek Historical Society's latest newsletter talking about the restoration of the oldest barn in Ada County. Frank the "Barn Whisperer" wrote this tell-all article, How to Save a Barn, about The Schick-Ostolasa Horse Barn. The barn was thought to have been built in 1868 by Philip Schickby, Dry Creek's original homesteader.

In addition to this article, Idaho Public TV has a show called Outdoor Idaho. They did a segment on Barns in Idaho. The Horse Barn was highlighted in the episode! It is worth taking a few minutes to view it. Frank Eld is the host. The Schick-Ostolasa part is at the 16:20 minute marker. View here.
