<p>The Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad Freight Shed is an historic freight station in the Southwest Center City neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, along Broad Street. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011 and is today part of the Lincoln Square mixed-use development.</p><br>
<h2>History and notable features</h2><br>
<p>The site had long been used by the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad; in 1865, President Abraham Lincoln&#39;s funeral train made its first Philadelphia stop here.</p><br>
<p>In 1876, the railroad began construction on the shed, a large one-and-one-half-story brick and stone building in the Late Gothic Revival style. It measures 99 feet, 5 inches wide and 235 feet long. It has a long, sloping roof supported by a Fink truss system, with glazed monitors.</p><br>
<p>The shed was used for passenger trains for four years, but was used solely for freight operations after January 1882.</p><br>
<p>The passenger station, along Washington Avenue, was demolished by the federal government during World War II to make space to store Marine Corps munitions and vehicles awaiting transport. By the late 1960s, the shed was sold for use as a warehouse. The head house and eight eastern bays were demolished a few years later.</p><br>
<p>In 2011, the shed was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>In 2016, developer Alterra Property Group began work on Lincoln Square, a $100 million mixed-use development on the site. The shed was rehabilitated and an eastern entrance added to create a space for a Sprouts supermarket. Designed by Philadelphia architectural firm Kelly Maiello, the project received several awards for preservation and adaptive reuse.</p><br>
<p>The Strauther Pleak Round Barn, also known as the "Pleak-Morgan Barn", is a round barn near Greensburg, Indiana, United States in Washington Township. Built in 1914, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>The barn is part of farmstead with a circa 1940 Indiana limestone ranch house, smoke house, spring house and garage. The main drive is looped enclosing a pen with a chicken coop and smaller barn.</p><br>
<h2>Exterior</h2><br>
<p>The round, two-story barn is unusual with a conical roof, silo and cupola, looking like a three tiered wedding cake. The main roofing system is a conical design that is penetrated by the large silo with square, single-paned windows. The silo is in turn capped by a round cupola with an even steeper pitched conical roof. The attached rectangular barn (built 1915) has a gambrel roof. The balloon frame walls of both barns rest on poured concrete foundations.</p><br>
<p>The roof has been covered with asphalt replacement shingles. Walls are original. The cupola has decorative shingles. Horizontal wood siding covers the silo and the barn. The rectangular barn is also covered in horizontal wood siding. The main entry is centered on east facade, the large doors of vertical wood pieces swing out to offer access. Above the doors is an upper level hay door. Around the structure are eight spaced square, single-paned windows on the lower level. On the northwest is a large sliding-door, then the attached rectangular barn and two more windows before returning to the main door. On the upper level, there is the upper hay doors, followed by a bay without a window, then a window positioned slightly lower than the other upper level units. Following this window is another upper level hay door of smaller, then five windows centered above the lower level windows, along with another upper level window to the north. The silo has four square, windows, located on the four compass points.</p><br>
<p>The rectangular barn is very simple in design with equally spaced square windows along the east, west and north walls. There is a small sliding door on the south located near the connector to the round barn and a large door on the north that opens into the main drive.</p><br>
<h2>Interior</h2><br>
<p>The interior of the barn has the exposed balloon framing and the circular laminated beam overhead at the barn&#39;s perimeter. The feed alley runs around the perimeter of the lower level, approximately 4 ft wide. There is a gate that separates the central area from the main entrance. Moving around the lower level in a clockwise manner, the feed alley extends all the way around to the northwest corner where it breaks for the sliding door to the outside. On the north end of the barn, there are three large posts that open to the connector to the rectangular barn and form two openings with gates. Next is a built in concrete water trough used to water the animals and finally, a smaller feed alley returns to the main doors.</p><br>
<p>In the center of the space is the octagonal silo, which becomes a circle above the roofline. Originally constructed of 2 by lumber stacked flat and coated on the inside with tar. The tar failed to seal the silo, so a brick and concrete plaster lining was added in 1917 creating a circular form on the inside, which becomes visible above the roof. The attached rectangular barn is composed of a series of pens on either side of a driveway that connects the "north door" with the round structure. There is also a small walkway that connects the main drive with the sliding door on the south.</p><br>
<p>The upper level is the haymow. The silo was constructed first and supports the roof. The balloon framing for the roof is tied into the silo. These members radiate inwardly from the exterior walls to the barn&#39;s central silo. Lath work supports the wood shingles.</p><br>
<p>The area on the upper level is open with eight windows and two hay doors. As on the lower level, there are three posts that form two large openings to the rectangular barn on the north. The rectangular barn is left open for hay and straw storage.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The barn is unique in overall appearance of a three-tiered wedding cake. The three different roof sections of the lower level, silo and spire add a distinctive quality and the decorative shingles of the upper spire is a creative touch.</p><br>
<h2>Owners</h2><br>
<p>The Pleak family maintained ownership of the farm until 1914 when it was sold to I.E. Morgan. The farm was then passed to I.B. Morgans son, Ati, in 1937, with Ati Morgan (1993) being the current owner. Mr. Morgans changes to the farm have been restricted to the construction of a 1940s era Indiana limestone ranch house, with no intrusive changes to the historic fabric of the round barn.</p><br>

<p>St. Anthony de Padua Parish School is a historic Catholic school building located in the Southwest Center City neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1897, and is a four-story, red brick building with stone trim in the Romanesque Revival-style. It has rounded arched window openings, a hipped roof with dormer, and freestanding brick fire tower.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. It is currently used as senior housing.</p><br>
<p>The Frank Littleton Round Barn, also known as the "Littleton-Pulliam Round Barn", is a round barn near Mount Comfort, Indiana, United States. Built in 1903, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>At 102 feet in diameter, it is the largest round barn ever built in the state. It was built for attorney and state legislator Frank L. Littleton, who wanted to best the accomplishment of fellow legislator, Congressman Wymond Beckett of Indianapolis, who had a 100-foot diameter barn. The barn was built in 1902 by Isaac McHamee, his son Emery McHamee, Benton Steele, and Horace Duncan.</p><br>
<p>The barn&#39;s design was used as documentation in a USA patent application, "Improvements to the Self-Supported Conical Roof", a patent which was granted in 1905 to Littleton, Isaac McNamee and Horace Duncan. A 1991 study indicates that "many farmers began building multi-sided (6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16-sided) barns to skirt... infringement" upon the patent.</p><br>
<p>The Bert Leedy Round Barn, also known as Paxton Round Barn and as Fulton County Historical Society Round Barn, is a round barn located in Richland Township near Rochester, Indiana, United States. Built in 1924, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. The listing was consistent with terms of a National Park Service "Multiple Property Documentation" study on "Round and Polygonal Barns of Indiana" that was prepared in 1991. The Round Barn was moved to its current site, an open-air museum, in 1989 after it was struck by a tornado.</p><br>
<p>The Fulton County Historical Society Museum, a modern building, is located approximately seventy five feet northwest of the barn. Parking for the museum is located northeast of the barn. A large earthen ramp on the north side of the barn leads to the main level entrance.</p><br>
<h2>Exterior</h2><br>
<p>This circular, two-storied barn, constructed in 1924, is topped by a three-pitch gambrel roof that is in turn capped by a round cupola with conical roof. The cupola is composed of windows, which help provide natural light to the main interior level. The main level s balloon frame structure, original to the barn, rests on the lower levels poured concrete walls. After the barn was moved in 1990 the roof was rebuilt using approximately two-thirds of the original roof materials.</p><br>
<p>The roof surfaces of the barn are covered in wood shingle. Although, some of the materials are new, the original roof was of the same design and construction. The wall surfaces of the main level are sheathed in vertical wood siding painted white while the walls of the lower level are poured concrete.</p><br>
<p>There were two 2-pitch gambrel barns in Rochester Township built in 1914 and 1915, that survived at the time of a 1991 survey of round barns in the state. Also in the township there had been a 3-pitch gambrel barn built in 1916, but the latter has been lost.</p><br>
<h2>Interior</h2><br>
<p>The lower level, unlike the main floor, contains windows spaced at regular intervals. These windows, inserted in the new foundation at the time that the barn was moved, were taken from the original foundation. The west facing door, located on this level, also slides on an overhead track. On the south side a fire door was added during the recent rehabilitation to satisfy fire codes.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The barn is significant as an outstanding example of the round barn phenomenon that appeared in American farming at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the early twentieth century. Round barn construction illustrates the application of scientific methods and modern engineering principles to agricultural building construction in order to improve the efficiency and thereby the profitability of the farm.</p><br>
<p>The barn is an excellent example and the last known example of the work of C. V. Kindig and Sons, the leading round barn builders in northwestern Indiana in the early twentieth century. One of the significant construction improvements that typifies round barns is the use of balloon framing. Without the numerous structural supports found in barns that did not use balloon framing, (typically early polygonal barns), interiors like that of the Leedy Barn could more efficiently accommodate the needs of the farmer. The belief that increased efficiency would improve a farm&#39;s profitability was an underlying principle behind the introduction of the centralized barn form.</p><br>
<h2>Owners</h2><br>
<p>The original owner of the barn was Bert Leedy who had lost a barn to fire in September 1924. Leedy consulted with his brother, Ezra, the owner of a round barn, who convinced him that a round barn could be constructed more quickly than a conventional barn and thereby provide shelter for his equipment and livestock before the approaching winter. Bert Leedy contacted C. V. Kindig and Sons. The Kindigs were responsible for most of Fulton County&#39;s round barns. The foundation and lower level walls of concrete were poured in just three days. When completed, the lower level sheltered eight horses, thirty sheep, eight cows, eight calves and eight feeder steers. The upper level hay mow accommodated fifty to sixty loads of hay and ten to twelve loads of straw plus a wheat bin with a capacity of thirty bushels.</p><br>
<p>Bert Leedy retained ownership of the barn and farm until 1972 when he sold out to the Partridge family. Harold & Opal Partridge owned the round barn 1973-75. According to a discussion that the Fulton County Historian had with Partidge at the time, Harold died in the round barn when a lawn mower he was working on caught on fire. He yelled for Opal to bring water so she did and threw it on the mower which put it out but Harold fell over dead with a heart attack. Larry & Patty Paxton owned the round barn from 1975-89. When it was damaged by tornado in 1989, they donated it to Fulton County Historical Society. Paxton offered the barn to the Society on the condition that it be moved. It was moved it to the present site on USA 31 beside Fulton County&#39;s history museum. The relocation began on November 30 and restoration was finished on June 20, 1990. About 2/3 of the lumber was original old lumber and about 1/3 of the round barn is new lumber. The roof is also new. Fred Carr, local carpenter, rebuilt the round barn 1990-1991. The renovation blue prints were drawn by Eugene Chudzynski, a local engineer and Purdue graduate. The barn was dedicated by the Society on June 22, 1991. The Leedy round barn was again knocked down by tornado or high wind on August 15, 2015 and again rebuilt by the Society. This time an Amish company rebuilt it for the museum.</p><br>

<p>The Cornish Griffin Round Barn, also known as the "Keeler Barn", is a historic round barn located near Pleasant Lake in Steuben Township, Steuben County, Indiana. It was built between 1910 and 1920, and is the only historic round barn in the state with glazed tiles, although many other barns in the state were built with unglazed tile silos. The two-level barn is topped by a two-pitch gambrel roof and the roof is sheathed in wood shingles.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>The John Haimbaugh Round Barn in Newcastle Township near Rochester, Indiana, United States, is a round barn that was built in 1914. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>There was another 2-pitch gambrel barn in Rochester Township, built in 1915, that was still extant at the time of a 1991 survey of round barns in the state. Also in the township there had been a 3-pitch gambrel barn built in 1916, but the latter has been lost.</p><br>
<p>Brothers Vernon, Oral, and Hap Kindig built the barn in 1914 for Mr. Haimbaugh. It stands on the west side of Indiana 25. The barn is surrounded by mature trees with cultivated fields on the north and west.</p><br>
<h2>Exterior</h2><br>
<p>The 72 ft diameter circle is two-story structure, surrounded on the northwest by a 20 ft semi-circular one story shed. The roof is a three-pitch gambrel with a dormer on the northeast. In lieu of a cupola, it has a metal aerator. The shed is covered by a gently sloping roof. The balloon framing of the walls rest on tall (about four feet tall) concrete block walls, which in turn rest on poured concrete foundations. Gravel from the farm was used in making the poured concrete. Legend has it that Mr. Haimbaugh insisted on filling the block walls with poured concrete as well, in order to insure stability. The block walls still show no signs of failure. The original wooden shingles have been replaced by asphalt shingles. The roof has modest eaves with exposed rafters. Exterior frame walls are sheathed in vertical wood siding. Simple boards are used to frame door and window openings.</p><br>
<p>The front is to the northeast. It has large sliding doors mounted on overhead tracks. The doors are vertical planks with an applied diamond panel decoration. The northwest side has a small human-sized door, allowing access without opening the large doors. A dormer is above the door. There are ten windows around each side of the barn from the main doors with another smaller door on the southeast side. There are no upper level windows on the front. A shed juts out from the rear of the barn with two windows and a single, upper level windows centered between the lower two. The shed has a series of ten windows, followed by a door and then another set of ten windows.</p><br>
<h2>Interior</h2><br>
<p>The interior of the barn is a composition of spaces arranged to facilitated the dairy operation. There is a central drive that runs from the main doors on the northeast and southwest. On either side of the main drive are feed alleys that are created by the central posts and a concrete feed trough, which forms a circle some 40 ft in diameter. On the east side, a concrete trough is followed by a ring of support posts that brace a laminated beam above which helps to carry the weight of the floor joists. Stanchions for the milk herd are fitted between the posts, followed by a manure alley along the outer perimeter. The west side has a similar arrangement but there is a corncrib built into the middle of the feed alley. Finally, along the outer reaches of the west side, there are openings into the attached shed where pens could accommodate the storage of animals.</p><br>
<p>The upper level, reached by a moveable ladder. The roofing system is an elaborate series of laminated beams and support posts that brace the three roof sections and the dormer. There is an upper laminated beam at the base of the metal aerator section that is braced by a series of cross-timbers that form a web of support. A circular hay track is mounted inside of this beam and it curves gracefully into the dormer thus allowing for efficient handling of hay and straw inside of the main doors. The roof trusses are then composed of balloon frame stick lumber pieces that radiate upwards toward the barn&#39;s center. The floor area of the upper level is open, with the exception of the area just inside of the northeast doors which is left open to accommodate loading and unloading of upper level feed.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>It is associated with the development of agriculture in Indiana. The Haimbaugh Barn was built by locally prominent carpenters C.V. Kindig & Sons and features an unusual semi-circular attached shed section. The barn is an important and direct link to the agricultural development that occurred in Indiana from 1850 to 1936 and has changed very little since its construction in 1914. The period of greatest significance of the barn was from 1914 to 1936.</p><br>
<p>The Haimbaugh barn is quite unusual and unique among Indiana examples. Being one of the 77 remaining true circular barns of the 151 that were built (219 round and polygonal barns were built in Indiana). The barn is unique with the 20 ft-deep shed that wraps halfway around the barn. Only one other Indiana example has this type of shed that was integral to the original design, the Dr. Horace Jones barn of Madison County&#39;s Boone Township. Furthermore, the decorative qualities of the barn and the attention to detail distinguish it from other examples, from its white trim to the diamond trimmed openings to the quarry-faced concrete block base. The Haimbaugh round barn has all of the essential features that were present at the time of its period of significance, from 1911 to the mid 1930s.</p><br>
<h2>Owners</h2><br>
<p>The original owner of the barn was John Haimbaugh who commissioned prominent Fulton County builders C.V. Kindig & Sons to erect the barn. Haimbaugh operated a dairy for which the barn seemed ideal. Timber was harvested from the farm and processed at the nearby Talma sawmill. Gravel for the concrete was mined from a nearby creek. After completion, there were 38 milking stations around the lower level and numerous windows providing ample light to the interior. The Haimbaugh family has always maintained ownership of the barn. The Haimbaugh Family Trust is the current owner. The trust was established for the maintenance of the barn.</p><br>

<p>Washington Avenue Historic District, or Washington Avenue Factory District, is a national historic district located in the Hawthorne and Bella Vista neighborhoods of South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It comprises the remaining four blocks of one of the last industrial neighborhoods in Philadelphia, and encompasses eight contributing buildings built between 1889 and 1927:</p><br>
<p>1001 Washington Avenue: C. J. Milne Factory</p><br>
<p>1101 Washington Avenue: Curtis Publishing Company</p><br>
<p>1135 Washington Avenue: American Cigar Company</p><br>

<p>1200 Carpenter Street: John Williams and Company</p><br>
<p>1227 Carpenter Street: Main Belting Company</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Washington Avenue was a district of manufacturing plants and factories that was also known as the "workshop of the world" up until mid 20th century (1950s).</p><br>
<p>In 1875 the north side of the 1000 block (site of the Milne Factory) was a cemetery; the site of the Curtis Building was a lumberyard; the Wyeth sites at 10th and 12th Streets were coal yards; the Wanamaker Factory was the location of the 13th and 15th Street Passenger Railroad stables and car barn. Only the western half of the 1100 block (now American Cigar) was given over to intensive industrial development - a cotton and woolen mill in a building demolished before 1900.</p><br>
<p>Industry arrived late on Washington Avenue, though it had become a significant shipping center by the 1850s with the arrival of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad (PW&B). These buildings were located here because of the position of the railroad tracks in the middle of Washington Avenue, connecting one factory to the next, and to the rest of the nation.</p><br>
<p>The main influx of heavy industry began with the arrival in 1889 of John Wyeth&#39;s chemical laboratory and pharmaceutical works. Ultimately the company built several other buildings near the PW&B tracks, including the handsome five-story loft building at the northwest corner of 12th and Washington in 1909.</p><br>
<p>In 1890, John Wanamaker built a warehouse at Broad and Carpenter to hold his goods, and ten years later he commissioned the monumental six-story factory at Broad and Washington that obliterated the earlier buildings.</p><br>
<p>Five years earlier Caleb Milne built the largest of all, a 376 foot long factory that stretched from 10th to 11th Streets.</p><br>
<p>By 1900 the John Williams Cotton and Woolen Mill occupied the 3-story brick building at Carpenter and 12th Streets, and six years later it expanded to the west end of its block in a six-story high loft.</p><br>
<p>The Main Belting Company was at its location on Carpenter Street before 1900, and was extended in 1902 and again in 1911.</p><br>
<p>On the 1100 block were the Curtis Publishing Company Warehouse and the adjacent American Cigar Company. The National Licorice Company built its modern reinforced concrete plant in 1927-28) at 13th and Washington Avenue, completing the group of industrial buildings begun thirty eight years earlier.</p><br>
<p>The overwhelming scale of these manufacturing buildings underscores their impact on their community, which provided the thousands of workers that wove cloth for John Williams and C.J. Milne, sewed garments for John Wanamaker, moved the various supplies of Curtis Publishing (which printed Ladies Home Journal and Saturday Evening Post), wrapped cigars for American Cigars, produced the chemical and pharmaceutical products of the John Wyeth Laboratories, or manufactured candy for National Licorice.</p><br>
<p>Many of the buildings are of architectural note as well. The Milne factory, for instance, by Hales and Ballinger, featured their newly invented "Superspan Truss", which shaped many of the conventional forms of factory architecture.</p><br>

<p>The Laughlin Round Barn near Castle Rock, Washington is a round barn built in 1883. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Laughlin Barn is one of fewer than five within the state. According to one scholar of farm structures, the Laughlin Barn is also probably the oldest round barn in Washington State if not in the northwest three state region." The Laughlin Round Barn was contemporary with the national construction of round barns in the United States, beginning in the 1880s and continuing until the 1920s. The round barn was popular for dairy farming. This was a period of experimentation by agricultural colleges and the publication of plans in farm journals. The advantages claimed were an economy of materials and a "greater efficiency in feeding and maintaining animals.”</p><br>
<p>Eventually, as labor became more expensive and farms increased in size, round forms ceased to be advantageous economically and the construction of round barns became less frequent. Only seven round barns have been identified between 1880 and 1920 in Washington. Only four remained in 1986. Additionally, nine or ten polygonal barns were constructed in Washington, of which six or seven are known to be standing. Constructed about 1882, the Laughlin barn was unusually early in the era of round barns. The round barns in eastern and central Washington were constructed between 1915 and 1925. In the southwestern part of the state, a polygonal and two other round barns were constructed. A polygonal barn in neighboring Wahkiakum County was constructed as early as the 1880s. Another round barn in Wahkiakum County, with a large onion-domed dairy barn constructed about 1915, has fallen within the last two years.</p><br>
<h2>Laughlin Family History</h2><br>
<p>The Laughlin Barn was constructed by Samuel Laughlin (1843-1910), who immigrated from Missouri to Cowlitz County with his family in 1873. Laughlin and his wife Eliza first settled in Olequa. Laughlin worked as a land surveyor for the government, briefly as a school teacher, and for several years as a section foreman for the railroad bridge crew. He also served as the second postmaster in Olequa, operating the post office out of his home for several years. In August 1877, the Laughlins purchased the 80-acre Cowlitz Valley tract. It was not until December of 1881 that the family moved to the property. During this time, the Victorian residence was under construction.</p><br>
<p>The barn’s construction was shortly after the family moved into their new home about 1881. It is known that the substantial Victorian house on the farmstead had been built at least by the early 1880s. The homestead house burned in 1923. The barn was built shortly after. Samuel Laughlin had constructed a house in Missouri, and a barn with the help of his son Peter. It is believed that Laughlin had seen examples of round barns while visiting relatives in Oregon.</p><br>
<h2>Appearance</h2><br>
<p>The Laughlin Round Barn is a wooden pole barn. The barn and other structures, including a residence, are on the edge of a rise several feet above the valley floor. The Cowlitz River forms a part of the southern boundary of the L-shaped tract. To the north and east of the structures is a large field which rises to a ridge covered in old growth and second generation Douglas fir and maple trees located on the farm. On the property is a school (built in 1898 with considerably alterations in the 20th century), two sheds, a county cemetery with about thirty stone markers, and the remnants of an old orchard. The 80 acre farm also includes pasturage and wooded areas and the remains of an orchard.</p><br>
<h3>Barn</h3><br>
<p>The barn is built on a circular wall with a conical roof. The wall is sided with board and batten and rises to a central column and cupola. A central wagon drive runs through the barn to the west of the central column. The wagon door faces north along the edge of the upper field. Extending from the entry is a gable shed. A lean-to addition, a pig pen, attached to the east wall of the entry shed. The barn contains a large upper-level loft. The outer wall is approximately 63 ft in diameter, supported by a ring of 20 split posts which are breast high in the loft. An inner ring of 13 posts, 40 ft in diameter, rises to support the rafters and define the edge of the loft&#39;s central space. A striking feature of the loft is the fan shaped bracing which rises in a vault from the central post to support the rafters.</p><br>
<p>On the ground floor, a livestock alley runs along the perimeter wall. Stalls face an inner ring of posts. There are numerous stalls for cows, four horse stalls, and three stanchions for calves. In the central area of the ground floor are two small spaces on either side of the central drive: a granary to the west, and a larger storage room to the east. The stalls are accessed by a narrow feeding alley behind the curving walls of the granary and storage room.</p><br>
<p>The framing is made from hand hewn, split, or planed beams. Included are a massive central post which tapers dimension as it rises; the post and beam framing members, 12 in wide and between 12 and deep; and the rings of posts, which are split, quarter round logs with the rounded edge facing outward.</p><br>
<p>The Ojo Caliente Hot Springs Round Barn is in Ojo Caliente, New Mexico and was built in 1924. It is the only adobe round barn in the United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The two-story round barn is a 65 ft tall with adobe walls on a concrete foundation, and has a double pitch, domed roof topped by a hexagonal cupola. The barn was built by Anthony F. Joseph, the owner and manager of the Ojo Caliente Hot Springs. By the mid-1910s, the mineral resort experienced growth and increased popularity and the barn was needed to meet a growing need for dairy products at the mineral resort. The ability to provide dairy products signifies a move towards commercial production from subsistence home production. By providing dairy products to guests, the resort was able to provide convenience and reassurance.</p><br>
<p>The hay hood dormer over the barn door was added by later owners, when the original opening there, flush with the domed roof shape, proved too exposed.</p><br>
<p>It was restored in 2002, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. At the time of its NRHP listing, it was believed to be the only round barn in New Mexico. It is within sight of USA Route 285.</p><br>
<p>The Risum Round Barn near Orfordville, Wisconsin, United States, is a round barn that was built during 1890–1892. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The barn was designed to hold 30 cows and six horses at ground level, with the upper part a haymow. A wooden silo stands in the center of the structure. Windows under the eaves admit light and could allow air to flow in, over the hay and out the cupola.</p><br>
<p>Among round barns in Wisconsin, it is significant for its early date of construction. It is a 60 ft diameter barn that was built for Carl Risum (1847–1899), an immigrant from Norway, built by a "carpenter named John Gansert or Gansell, according to oral tradition, but there is no record of the exact date or cost." Lumber to build the barn was brought from the railroad depot at Brodhead, Wisconsin, six miles away.</p><br>
<p>The J.H. Manchester Round Barn, on Ohio State Route 385 between Roundhead, Ohio and New Hampshire, Ohio, United States, is a round barn that was built in 1908 by Horace Duncan for farmer Jason H. Manchester.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>

It has two tiers with the second tier 70 feet in diameter and a total of 88 feet in height with a domed gambled shingled roof. The entrance faces west and features double-hinged doors with diagonal siding swing with a helmet-shaped projecting entrance with the nameplate "J.H. MANCHESTER, 1908, MAPLE AVENUE FARM, HORACE DUNCAN BUILDER". The interior echos Shaker design with hay and feed were stored in the center for livestock housed around the circumference.</p><br>
<p>The barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 under simple name Round Barn and included 48 acre and three contributing buildings: the main house and two smaller frame houses.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The property was listed along with six other round barns in the area noted as the only known round barns of this size and stature in this part of Ohio. Lumber was being harvested from the Great Black Swamp and shipped via the railway after the 1880s-1890s burst of barrel and stave manufacturing. Agricultural experimentation was happening at the turn of the century as a result of the new wealth from manufacturing, prompting the University of Illinois to develop and encourage round barns as being more efficient way to tend animals and store harvest and supplies. This, in turn, helped round barn builders gain credibility for their design and new barns being built.</p><br>
<p>Jason Manchester migrated at age 12 with his family from Vermont in 1865 with his parents, taking over of 500 acres of unfarmed land. His father improved the land and was owner of 1,000 acres at the time of his death. Jason attended schools in Union County and Vermont and took formal ownership of the farm after his father&#39;s death. He aspired to be recognized as a model farm in the Midwest, developing the estate with improvement programs that produced impressive yields and encouraged new technology and engineering, such as the round barn and modern harvesters.</p><br>
<p>The Manchester family is still in current ownership of the property.</p><br>
<p>The Round Barn near Paulding, Ohio, listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places simply as Round Barn, is in the area of Paulding, Ohio. It is a round barn that was built in 1911. It may also have been known as William Sinn Round Barn.</p><br>
<p>It was owned originally or at some later date by Ohio Wesleyan University. It is a 60 ft diameter barn, which rises to a height of 55 ft. It was one of six round barns in the Black Swamp area of northwest Ohio that were nominated for NRHP listing together.

<p>The barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>Unfortunately, this barn is no longer standing.</p><br>
<p>William Sinn was one of the trustees of the barn property.</p><br>

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  in 1991. The listing included three contributing buildings and another contributing structure on a 4.5 acre area.</p><br>
<p>The Union Fishermen&#39;s Cooperative Packing Company dates from 1896. Founded in 1896 "by a group of gillnetters aiming to gain more control over market and working conditions", the company built a cannery and two stations, this one in Alderbrook and another in Uppertown. These stations served members, mostly Finns and Scandinavians, who lived in Alderbrook and Uppertown neighborhoods. "At these stations, the gillnetters could unload their catches at receiving stations at the pierhead, find secure moorage close to their homes, and have ready access to storage and repair facilities."</p><br>
<p>Only the 1903 Alderbrook station survives intact. The three-story, 60 x fishing boat and net storage shed, standing on pilings in the river, is the largest of the station&#39;s surviving buildings. It has a two-story boat lift at its northwest corner, but the lift was in "poor condition"</p><br>
<p>Among the coop&#39;s other buildings was a "storage warehouse and receiving station" built on pilings in the river at 31st Street</p><br>
