We are looking for someone to dismantle and buy the lumber from a large barn, vintage 1920’s, located in Columbia MO. We are about to place the property on the market and would like to see the barn lumber recycled before it is destroyed.

Usually the way it works , The costs of dismantling is offset by the value of the lumber . If it is any good, you will get the barn removed, for the lumber. That's the way I see it. I live in Pa. I know a few people who do that kind of work send me an e-mail. if you would like some info. They might be able to help you, or tell you who can.
Honestly because of the year. It is a good possibility the lumber is not valuable. Probably a lot of hard yellow pine. I don't know. I bet it is not a full barn like we have in the east.
Older wood generally much older than you have is more workable and valuable, millable , useful etc.
I'm not trying to dicourage you. Just telling you what I have gleaned from my sources.

Thanks for the prompt response and good information. My husband says it is pine, but not knotty like today's pine. We're just beginning this project - we'll see if there is any interest from those closer to Columbia.
