Was that the one that was intentionally burned down?

Rebecca,

Nope, that was the Mumma barn, burned by the Confederates.

The Poffenberger barn was acquired just a few years ago and was n very damaged condition. Much of the original structure has been preserved and stabilized and some new beams and period siding is replacing the old damaged lumber.
