Old Coulterville and Foresta Roads
Yosemite Valley
McCauley Barn Built 1883
Meyer Barns Built c1880
The McCauley and Meyer Barns are the last remaining barns in Yosemite which possess architectural significance and integrity.
The vernacular buildings differ from each other in form and design, but they are largely handcrafted and are nearly unchanged from their original appearance. Both the McCauley barn and the Meyer barn #2 are examples of an unusual California type known as the "Mormon Pole Barn" more often found in the Genessee Valley and dating from the 1850s.
George Meyer, a German born ship carpenter, took over his brother's homestead in Big Meadow in the 1870's. The meadow was considerably smaller than its present size before George cut trees and cleared brush.
Meyer probably built Barn #2 late 1870's and Barn #1 in the early 1880's. The walls of the latter barn were supposedly built flat on the ground and then raised in one piece. Meyer's ranch was a stage stop on the Old Coulterville Road and he supplied grains and vegetables to Yosemite Valley businesses. Meyer died in San Francisco in 1917 and was buried there.
The McCauley barn was built around 1883 by Irishman James McCauley, pioneer Yosemite trailbuilder and innkeeper. McCauley also built the Four Mile trail to Glacier Point in 1871 and the Glacier Point Mountain House in 1878. McCauley worked the ranch with his son, supplying beef to Yosemite Valley businesses, until his death in an accident on the old Coulterville Road in 1911. In 1923 his son, Fred, sold the property to Horace Meyer, son of George Meyer who built the Meyer barns.
The National Park Service has owned the barns since 1974.

The McCauley and Meyer Barns in Yosemite National Park are the last barns in the park that retain their original characteristics as structures built by homesteaders. The McCauley barn and the two Meyer barns represent different construction techniques and styles of design.
The McCauley Barn was built about 1883 by Irish-born James McCauley, who operated hotels in the Yosemite Valley. McCauley's ranch was to be his winter home, since Glacier Point, where he operated the Glacier Point Mountain House, was not suitable for winter living. McCauley purchased the land in 1883 and began to live full-time at the ranch in 1897. McCauley's son Fred inherited the ranch after James' death in an automobile accident in 1911. Fred dispersed the property, which became known as "Foresta" and was unoccupied after 1955. The National Park Service acquired the ranch in 1974. The barn is a wood structure, with a log cribwork core using V-notched joints, measuring 40 feet (12 m) by 80 feet (24 m). A long center bay is flamed by two more open bays along the long axis of the barn. The overhanging gable roof structure is peeled logs, once covered with wood shingles but now covered with sheet metal. The logs were not chinked, and are presently sheathed with vertical boards. The design is unusual. The "Mormon Pole Barn" style dates to the 1850s in the Genessee Valley.[2]
George Meyer operated a homestead established by his brother Henry in the 1870s in Big Meadow. A ship carpenter in Germany, Meyer married James McCauley's niece Elizabeth in 1900, acquiring the McCauley Ranch in 1923. Meyer Barn No. 1 is a saltbox-shaped timber-framed structure built in the early 1880s. The principal portion of the barn measures 30 feet (9.1 m) by 20 feet (6.1 m), with a lean-to addition 30 feet (9.1 m) by 16 feet (4.9 m). The barn is sheathed in vertical wood siding with a steeply-pitched metal roof. The framing is believed to have been built flat and raised into position in five bents.[2]
Meyer Barn No. 2, nearby Barn No. 1 in Big Meadow, is similar in character to the McCauley Barn, measuring about 50 feet (15 m) square, with a hipped roof. It was built in the late 1870s. The center consists of a 25-foot (7.6 m) high saddle-notched log crib that supports the center of the steep roof. The crib was surrounded by stalls for livestock on three sides. The exterior wall is a frame structure covered in vertical board sheathing. The log roof structure was covered with shingles, now by sheet metal.[2]
The barns were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 15, 1978.[1]

It was a 1920 Chevrolet, and it was a great one for breaking down! My first car was a 1916 Ford that had no self-starter. When it rained you had to put on side curtains made of Isenglass, and after about one season they were gone. It had electric lights. When you rant in low gear the lights were fine, but when you ran in high gear they would hardly show. They ran off the generator. Anyhow, we took the train from Stockton to Sacramento for our honeymoon. We had intended to drive!"

Sister Lila came from Madera, and Maud's sister was there. Fred Conwell was the best man. Les recalls, "My car broke down on the way to Stockton and I had to leave in it Chinese Camp. It was a 1920 Chevrolet, and it was a great one for breaking down! My first car was a 1916 Ford that had no self-starter. When it rained you had to put on side curtains made of Isenglass, and after about one season they were gone. It had electric lights. When you ran it in low gear the lights were fine, but when you ran in high gear they would hardly show. They ran off the generator. Anyhow, we took the train from Stockton to Sacramento for our honeymoon. We had intended to drive!"
