Illinois, Champaign County, University of Illinois Round Barn No. 2

            The University of Illinois Farm is home to three round barns built from 1908 to 1912. These barns were part of a 20-acre dairy demonstration farm, designed to show dairy farmers the advantages of cost-effective construction, minimal maintenance, and labor efficiency. Professor Wilbur J. Fraser, the main advocate for this initiative, managed the program through the University's Agricultural Experiment Station. Round Barn No. 2, completed in 1910, was the second to be constructed. It features a 60-foot diameter and is divided into two stories. The first level has concrete floor with a central driveway through the barn. The second level has upper and lower lofts.  The barn is topped with a two-pitched conical roof with flared overhang. Round Barn No. 2 is in the University of Illinois Experimental Dairy Farm Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a significant structure.
