Rebecca Rankin Round Barn
The Rebecca Rankin Round Barn is a historic round barn in the far eastern part of the U.S. state of Indiana. Located along State Road 18 in far northern Jay County, the barn is one of many built throughout the state during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Its distinctive manner of construction has resulted in its designation as a historic site.
==Round barns in Indiana==
Due to the invention of circular silos with elevators by 1882, round barns began to become practical in the late nineteenth century.〔McMahan, Jerry. ''(National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Round and Polygonal Barns of Indiana )''. National Park Service, 1991-10-18. Accessed 2011-01-05.〕 Trade magazines soon began to make this technology more widely known, and farmers began to embrace this technology by building their barns around their silos.〔 Moreover, farmers found that circular barns were more efficient, because they had no need to walk from end to end of the building multiple times when feeding their animals.〔 As farmers and professors at land-grant universities in different states began to advocate the construction of round barns, Indiana farmers became aware of this trend;〔 152 round barns were constructed in the state between 1889 and 1936, of which 77 survived into the 1990s.〔
