| Additional Information: | 2001- This barn is part of a farmstead consisting of a house and two other animal barns (AHI #s 0121919, 0121920, 0121921). It is in the center of a series of three barns built around 1941 for the Lone Pine Fox and Fur Co. a fox farming operation that operated here from 1941 until 1950, a brief stint relative to other, more successful fox farms in Wisconsin. This barn is the most notable of the three barns. It is a 2-story, side-gabled building with an octagonal, clapboard-sheathed tower rising from the center of an asphalt-shingled roof. A lean-to addition is connected to the building's eastern elevation. The building features its original fenestration throughout. |
