10-90) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Scott, John, Barn and Granary Butler County, Ohio The John Scott Barn and Granary are located in the far western portion of Ross Township in rural Butler County. Both buildings are located on a working cattle and grain farm that includes a historic farmhouse [1824; enlarged 1859], several outbuildings, and a family cemetery. At this time only the barn, granary and milk house are being nominated to the National Register. Set on a broad terrace approximately 1 mile east of the unincorporated village of Shandon, the John Scott Barn London Road the Scott Barn, unobstructed by trees or other adjoining buildings, dominates the agrarian Fincastle-Patton-Xenia soil associations.
South of the barn and beyond the boundaries of the nomination is the historic Halstead family cemetery. The Halstead Mounds I & II [BU-85] are located approximately 1000' west of the barn in a lower pasture and also lie outside the boundaries of the nomination. Several prehistoric sites have also been recorded immediately north of Hamilton-New London Road. John Scott Barn [BUT-2331-11], (Photos #1-#9) Built in 1884, the John Scott Barn is a timber frame cattle and hay barn conjoined with three square concrete silos. The silos, banked into the east slope of a small glacial knoll, consist of three 24'x 24' concrete chambers colored concrete walls are 20 feet in height, 2'thick and are surmounted by a gabled roof that is joined bottom of the silos facing the driveway were used to remove the silage. On the exterior, the silos are readily and was used for filling the silos (photo #2).
Extending east-to-west, the attached cattle and hay barn to the east of the silos features a monitor roof with sloping shed roofs on both the north and south elevations. The gabled east elevation features a sawtooth hay hood with canted double doors that allowed for direct access to the hay mow (photos #3-4; 7). The barn (excluding the silos) measures 72'x104' (photo #4). In contrast to most other large working barns in Setting openings with their original hardware.
The only major external alteration appears to be the large door opening, perpendicularly with the cattle barn, thus giving the impression of two attached barns.Doors located at the discernable through their smooth concrete walls.A prominent hay hood marks the peak of the north roof gable orcells built for storing silage(photo#5).The total dimensionsof the three silos are80'x 28.'The smooth,tan Section number_7 Page_1 and Granary serve as visual focal points on the present day 240-acre farm (photo #1). From Hamilton-New original footprint, vertical board siding, fixed six pane window sashes, clerestory openings, and first floor door landscape. The immediate topography is gently rolling with pastures and cultivated fields nourished by Butler County, the Scott Barn has maintained a high degree of structural integrity.

10-90) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Scott, John, Barn and Granary Butler County, Ohio probably made decades ago to the southeast elevation. The south elevation opens into the loafing area as it has likely done since the barn was built (photo # 3). At the notch of the barn and silo at the southwest corner is a shed-like structure that was built to house the scale (photo #5). The scale proved unsatisfactory and was removed many years ago, replaced by a bullpen. The lower level features three 10' wide feed alleys and a 12' wide driveway extending in a north-south alignment rather than in a transverse arrangement (see floor plan). The original cement floor measures 65' x 100.?
A row of eight horse stalls and two box stalls was originally located along the east wall and a driveway century vintage and were likely installed when the barn was converted to dairy purposes. According to an 1897 article, no timbers in the barn were larger than six inches square. With the exception of some hewn tie beams that extend north to south in portions of the haymow, all of the framing members appear to be circular sawn (photo #6). Floor joists measure 2"x6". The entire second floor, with the exception of three aisle of the haymow comprises the monitor portion of the barn and is framed by 6" x 6" sawn verticals posts rafters are notched into the purlins and top plates. Roof rafters and siding are long leaf yellow pine. Three grain bins are located above the silos. The floor deck appears to be white ash and is likely original.
A new roof was added in 1998 although the original decking appears to have been retained. Curiously, it would seem the original tie beams in the haymow were sawn off below the roof peak soon after completion of the barn. A list of barn construction and materials expenses indicate a hay carrier was purchased, so it seems probable that Scott discovered the tie beams interfered with efficient operation of the new hay carrier and had portions of the tie beams removed. John Scott Granary [BUT-2332-11], (Photos #10-12) Built ca. 1875 on a fieldstone foundation, the Granary was designed to house ear corn, small feed grains and a steam powered grinder. It is a symmetrically arranged structure distinguished by twin driveways that extend east-west. The main side gabled structure measures 47' 8" wide and 39' deep.
The lower, single story stem of the "T" attached to the east side of the corn crib rests on a rough ashlar limestone foundation and houses the structure is covered in vertical board siding. grain bins under the roof, is devoted to the hay mow and even extended over the silos (photo #9).

The original driveway doors depicted in the early photos have been removed. The structure is divided into seven bays with eight bents. Eight principle tie beams are both hewn and sawn, suggesting some framing members were salvaged from an older structure. Knee braces are a robust 6"x 6" and upper floor joists extending east-to-west are mainly 2"x 6" members.

During the 1950s the Board of Health closed the milkhouse and a new electric powered milk cooler was built on the barn's west elevation. This addition was removed in the 1990s.
