Thomas Ranck Round Barn
Thomas Ranck Round Barn, Agricultural round barn in Waterloo Township, Indiana, United States
The Thomas Ranck Round Barn features three circular tiers with a diameter of 70 feet and vertical wood siding painted in white colors.
Built in 1904 by architect Isaac McNammee, the barn received recognition through its inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places in January 1983.
The round barn design represents agricultural innovation in the Midwest, where farmers implemented new architectural approaches for enhanced farming operations.
An earthen ramp leads to the main entrance on the west side, while the interior contains storage areas, grain bins, and a hayloft.
The central roof structure stands without support columns, using structural members less than 2.5 inches thick through advanced stick carpentry engineering.
