Jackson Barn
Kiowa County
The circa-1915-1920 Jackson Barn is significant architecturally as a well-preserved example of an early twentieth century, three-bay, balloon frame horse barn. The barn is “modest, unassuming, and unpretentious”, making use of common regional forms and materials.
It features a simple square design with gabled roof, walls with drop siding, sliding vertical board doors on the gable ends, a hay loft door, and pigeon holes. Although such barns were commonly found in Kiowa County during the early twentieth century, they are rare today. In 1937, the barn was moved to its current location for use in the Jackson Dairy operation that provided milk for Eads families.
