J. F. Roberts Octagonal Barn
J. F. Roberts Octagonal Barn, Octagonal barn in Rea, Missouri, United States.
The J. F. Roberts Octagonal Barn features a two-story wooden frame structure with a central section crowned by an eight-sided hipped roof.
Columbus Hobson designed this agricultural structure in 1900, which later served the Clark family for raising Aberdeen Angus cattle from 1946 onwards.
The architectural design demonstrates the evolution of farming practices, representing a period when octagonal structures were considered advanced solutions for agricultural needs.
Located at the intersection of MO B and MO 48, this National Register of Historic Places structure occupies less than one acre of land.
The interior post and beam framing system of this octagonal barn creates an efficient space for both livestock management and storage purposes.
