True-Round Grade Barn

-A A +A
c. 1905. 4500 S. Main St.

The wood walls of this large circular barn (approximately 83 feet in diameter) have been placed on top of a poured concrete band that lies just below the beautifully disposed row of square windows. The structure is topped by a double-pitched conical roof. Changes in exterior ground level make it possible to enter the barn on two levels.
