Descriptive Information

Title
Naffziger Round Tile Barn
Description
This circular tile sided barn was built by William Naffziger in 1916 in Mount Hope Township, McLean County.
Interpretation
Naffziger's round tile barn was made of locally burned tile and arranged so that cattle faced inward toward the tile silo. This was the last surviving circular barn in McLean County, and it remained intact until a tornado took its roof off in 1996.
Inscription
In 1916 William Naffziger built this circular tile-sided barn. It is seen here about 1972. (W.Walters)
