| Additional Information: | The dairy barn complex was constructed in phases beginning c.1900. It is rectangular in plan and is comprised of three distinct masses: the original (c.1900) gable-roofed mass that sits along an east-west axis, a shorter gable-roofed addition (constructed c.1945) that spans the west elevation of the original building mass along a north-south axis, and a smaller gable-roofed addition (constructed c.1970) off of the south elevation of the complex at the junction between the original and c.1945 masses. All building masses feature vertical board walls and metal roofs. A poured concrete foundation wall is visible in the c.1945 mass; this mass also features sliding barn doors in its western façade. A poured concrete silo (c.1915) is located along the north elevation of the dairy barn complex and retains its domed concrete roof with cylindrical concrete ventilation pipe. |
