"Dear Ms. Kotting;
I have read the article in Traverse magazine. I wanted you to know that I believe whole-heartedly in what you do and what you stand for. I agree with your work on so many levels. I have a masters in museum studies, but mostly I am a lifelong Michigan resident. I've seen barns in my passages my entire life. I feel drawn to barns, the older the better. I feel their history and I appreciate that you strive to protect and preserve them.
Your work is incredible. To know that one less barn will end up in a heap is so meaningful to me. I hope my children will share the same memories of the beautiful cultural landscape around us.
Thank you!"

Our commitment to the Cultural Landscape and the Environment

The guiding philosophy at N.L. Kotting & Company, LLC is three fold:

1 We believe in the preservation of the Cultural Landscape as it is embodied in our historic barns.

2 We believe the act of historic preservation is, ultimately, an act of environmentalism. We believe in recycling the built environment and sustaining traditional, green building methods.

3 We believe in creating soul nurturing spaces in which to live and work. Our barn conversions are built from the wisdom of generations past with the intent of providing generations to come with a sense of place, continuity, authenticity and a reverence for functionality and simplicity.
