Follow the trail north of the Nest to find the barn structure as you head toward Ten Mile Lake. The barn is roughly 110 yards north-northwest of the Nest and measures 20 by 26 feet. It’s a single-story, wood-frame building with a gable roof. The structure is divided into three sections by wood partitions that reach the eaves. The north section has a dirt floor and a large open space on the east wall, indicating it was likely used to house livestock. The middle section features a wide opening on the west side, covered by a sliding wooden door, and a brick-paved floor probably used for parking farm vehicles. The south section seems to be a workroom with a concrete slab floor, housing pump equipment, built-in shelves, and storage cabinets. Parts of the original fenced corral attached to the barn for animal turnout are still visible and can be identified using historic maps and site drawings
