Timber Frame Roof Truss
Putnam County Courthouse Truss Restoration - Hennepin, Illinois
We restored the kingpost roof truss system of this courthouse, which is the oldest courthouse in continuous operation in the state of Illinois. Due to a flaw in the original design of the trusses (caused by missing struts), the top and bottom cords of these trusses had started to fail after over 100 years of use. TDTW restored the trusses in situ without interrupting the operation of the courthouse below.
