Three Levels. The barn's design displays a canny combination of the practical and the monumental. Constructed of wood and stone within a 270-ft. circumference, it ranged cows and horses facing into a central core. At harvest time, wagons bearing fresh loads from the fields could enter by a separate driveway that led to the level above the stalls, then drive around the circle, distributing feed in the hayloft.
