The Oxley Barn, near Quinter in Gove County, Kansas, is a wood-framed barn with a Gambrel roof. It was built in 1911 and expanded later. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.[1]
It was built by Benjamin Franklin Oxley upon a concrete foundation.
The barn is 54 by 68 feet (16 m × 21 m) in plan, rising to 42 feet (13 m) and topped by a cupola with one of five lightning rods along the peak of the roof.[2] It was expanded by construction of a lean-to a few years after its original construction in 1911.[2]
It has also been known as the Big Red Barn.[2] A black and white photo from the 1930s shows a farmer and horses in front of the large barn.[3]
It is located about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) northeast of Quinter. It can be seen for miles, including from the Interstate 70.[2]
