The Long Barn In Ebensburg, PA was founded in September of 1973 by Edwin A. Long and managed by his brother Charles A. Long. In the beginning there were two employees and one building, with the intention to better supply their own general contracting company, as well as any walk in patrons. The Long Barn dramatically grew and expanded its customer base throughout the 1970's. In order to better focus on and service each and every customer, The Long Barn dissolved its general contracting business in 1980. The Long Barn has since flourished into a complex covering 12 acres and more than 20 buildings. It has grown into an organization with the capabilities of supplying any product needed for residential construction and remodeling, along with most commercial products. Currently the second generation of Longs own and operate The Long Barn. They are proud of the fact that it is a family owned business, with the continued use of values and ethics instilled in them by their fathers.
