I did a paper on dendrochronology for my archeology course in college. Pretty cool dating technique.
My SIL is a timber framer in Maine. I sent him this link.thanks,

“However, the building’s boxed-framed architectural style suggests the timbers should have a much later date.”
Building timbers used to be re-used from building to building.
The dendro not matching the architecture is nothing unusual, it happens all the time.
Stone buildings are often even worse. Many are made from recycled monastries.
Ship timbers are often found in buildings, that really messes up the dating.
Certainly a well-cared for building in that photo. What an interesting study.
