	This is the village Inn. The construction of the Inn began in November of 1998. First, the support beams were hauled into place. These beams, in the middle ages, whould have been squared out of logs using a tool called an asz.
The rafters for the roof were added next. On the roof are cedar shingles. Which in the middle ages were hand-shewn out of logs using a fro. The walls are built in between the up-right supports. In the middle ages a system called "wattle and dob" was used to make the walls.
	Here the outside construction of the Inn is almost complete. A hole in the roof was left for the flue to the fireplace. Once the chimney was finished the roof could be completed. The fireplace was hand constructed using brick and mortar, taking several months.
The double-doors were made with a hand forged locking device. The windows were filled with glass which, in the middle ages, would have been time consuming to manufacture. Once the outside construction was finished it was time to finish work on the inside.
	The entire construction of the Inn, including the floor was done by hand. All the brick for the floor were recycled to give it an antique look.
And this is the finished product. All of the proceedes that come into Somerville Manor are used to build other buildings such as this one.
