The tile dairy barn (40' by 120') was built in 1948. It features brick floors, poured in-place concrete mangers, and a rounded roof. The large haymow was first used to store loose hay, then switched to bales with a raised drying floor added in 1954. The barn has housed Jersey cows, beef steers, caged layers, and now riding horses.
