Inside Fromme-Birney Round Barn in Mullinville, Kansas
The round barn design uses gravity and a central silo inside the barn to get hay from the loft to the livestock floor. Despite this work-reducing design, round barns never surpassed the traditional four-sided barn in popularity. Most round barns in the US were built between the mid-19th century until the 1930s, including the Fromme-Birney Round Barn, seen here, built in 1912. Today, the barn is on the US National Register of Historic Places.
