HGAC awards Littlestown veterinary Hospital Barn Preservation Award: Historic Preservation Society of Gettysburg-Adams County (HGAC) Preservation Committee Chair Curt Musselman, right, awarded Littlestown Veterinary Hospital owners Dr. Julie Holland, left, and Dr. Gary Kubala with its 2015 Barn Preservation Award at its Annual Meeting last month, as part of their Barn Preservation Project and Grant Program. The circa 1860-80 Littlestown Veterinary Hospital Barn, situated at 5010 Baltimore Pike, Littlestown, was on the brink of collapse in 1997. It was purchased by Willis and Denise Myers in 1998, who gave the barn the structural support it needed, and repaired and replaced rotted and missing beams and brought the structure back from the brink of collapse. In 2008 the current owners purchased the barn and continued with the preservation process, at the same time converting the structure into a veterinary hospital. Today the barn is a multi-use facility that is home to not only the veterinary hospital but also a pet grooming business, the Jaycees, a place for storage for the Littlestown Historical Society, and a worship center.
