The Slayton Farms-Round Barn is an historic structure located near Iowa Falls in rural Hardin County, Iowa. It was built in 1915 and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1986.[1] The barn is one of 16 that was built by the Johnston Brothers Clay Works from Fort Dodge, Iowa.[2] It is constructed of hollow clay tiles and features a gambrel roof with two different pitches and hay dormer. Two aerators flank the central silo on the roof.[2] The interior of the barn is fashioned around the silo from which silage was shoveled to feed the cattle. An overhead track system and a bucket for hauling materials remains intact.[2]
