County Moves to Save Comer Barn

The Hendersonville Standard reports that the Sumner County Commission is moving forward with steps to preserve the Comer Barn:

County leaders took a small step on Monday toward preserving the Comer Barn, a historic structure between Hendersonville and Gallatin that was deeded to the county nearly four years ago. 

The 8,500 square-feet Tennessee Walking Horse barn built in the 1930’s was deeded to Sumner County by Rogers Group, which operates an adjacent quarry, in March 2016 contingent on several conditions. The county also leases the Comer House next to the barn from Rogers Group for office space for the Sumner County tourism and visitor’s bureau.

During a budget committee meeting on Monday, Chairman Chris Taylor proposed a resolution to hire a consultant to evaluate the aging structure and determine what’s needed to protect it from further deterioration.
