Original location: Southeast of New Haven, 30 miles west of Gray Summit.

Construction: Casa Audlon Lodge was the Breckenkamp Family barn.  This barn was a large size not normally seen in Missouri.  The porch is constructed of cedar flooring and railings milled from trees taken down during the Shaw Nature Reserve (SNR) glade restoration project. The siding is reclaimed redwood from a water tank.  Designed in the Rumsford style, the fireplace has a narrow and shallow firebox and angles to reflect the heat back in to the room.  The floor joists are oak replica that had to be added because there was no second floor in the barn; the upstairs was actually a hayloft.
