San Luis Obispo Octagon Barn, Historical barn in San Luis Obispo County, United States.

The Octagon Barn features an eight-sided design with a central cupola rising 40 feet above the wooden floor made of redwood timbers.

Built in 1906 by Henri LaFranchi and John Damaso, the structure initially served as Santa Fe Dairy operations until 1917 under Antonio Stornetta's management.

The barn represents early 20th-century agricultural innovation, combining Italian-Swiss and Azorean immigrant construction techniques in California's dairy industry.

Located at 4400 Octagon Way, the building functions as a community center for weddings, reunions, performances, and educational activities about agriculture.

The structure marks the starting point of Bob Jones City-to-Sea Bicycle Trail, connecting San Luis Obispo to Avila Beach through the California countryside.
