Built in 1936, the Lamar Barn is like thousands of other log structures constructed in the rustic style between the late teens and World War II. The two-story barn is made of Lodgepole Pine logs, daubed with mortar on the out-side, chinked with wood on the inside, and set on a stone and concrete foundation. Typical of this type of building, the intersecting log wall crowns extend 12" to 28" from the corners of the building. | Built in 1936, the Lamar Barn is like thousands of other log structures constructed in the rustic style between the late teens and World War II.

The Commission denied the application on grounds that the proposed office building would overwhelm and otherwise interfere with the historic and aesthetic integrity of the landmark-designated terminal building. The plaintiffs filed suit against the Commission alleging that its application of New York City Landmark Preservation Law had effected a taking of property without just compensation and arbitrarily deprived the owners of their property without due process.
