city home with 25' x 50' hip roof barn, (slate with cupola- 1912)

Hi Barn Geek, I live in city of Bangor, Maine. I am trying to sell my gracious colonial home with matching barn,(25'x50', 2+stories, hip/slate roof with cupola).

Shockingly, I have discovered that buyers do not see the value in this gem. Can't fathom the thought of disassembling it but do not know what else to do. Any thoughts?
