Nutwood Place-Barn - Urbana, Ohio

 
















Nutwood Place Barn is part of a historic farm complex on the northern edge of Urbana, Ohio. Commercial hatter Absalom Jennings of New York City bought the farm in 1856, but he waited three years before taking up residence there. Here, he remained for the rest of his life, breeding horses and cattle. Under his direction, the brick round barn was erected in 1861. Posted to the National Register of Historic Places on December 12, 1976. GPS: 40.128151°N, -83.752343°W. (This is an exception to my normal postings. This NRHP posting also included the farm house, which was built by William J. Ward. However, the present owner refused to photograph the house on his property. I felt this this barn could stand on its own recognition)
