There is a whole world of difference between the two ideas you present
in that statement.

The number of stones making up a 2' thick barn wall is hugely greater
than the number of stones you need to clad a wall with a single layer -
like 5 times greater.

If you did embark on the lunacy of manually dismantling a wall stone by
stone and numbering the stones, just so that you can rebuild it in the
same pattern, it would take a team of several people several weeks.
Barns are just not knocked down this way, ever.

They are. I have seen a few. The best approach by far. A new building with
an old stone cladded outer. Never thought of it did you?
