Description
Round Barn, approximately 100' in diameter with a wooden silo in the center. It was a twin to one that stood on a farm a few miles west, off Bloomfield Road, which burned in 1929. At that time it was on land owned by Giboney Houck. Sources say that Giboney Houck had his barn built first on his Little Valley Farm. The Anna Kay barn was built by the same builder who lived in Iowa and came here at the request of Giboney Houck. The Anna Kay barn gradually decayed since no one in the area was knowledgeable or skilled in how to repair a structure with these unique features. It was demolished in 1982 with only the foundation remaining still today.
