Marion Ridgeway Polygonal Barn
Marion Ridgeway Polygonal Barn, Round barn from 1882 in La Porte, United States
The nine-sided wooden structure features a Gothic Revival roof capped with a central cupola and contains pie-shaped stalls around a central hall.
Marion J. Ridgeway constructed this barn in 1882 to support his business of breeding Clydesdale horses, English Coach stock, and Norman Draft horses.
The Door Prairie Barn name derives from a natural passage between woods and prairie that served as a reference point along Native American trails.
Located at the coordinates 41.59000°N and -86.70250°W, the barn stands near Highway 35 at the southern entrance of La Porte, Indiana.
In 2001, the structure underwent restoration work that involved lifting it from the original foundation and securing it to a new concrete base preserving fieldstones.
