Harlow Lewis Calvert Farmstead, Corn Crib, South side of U.S. Route 50, 1.9 miles south of Guysville, Guysville, Athens County, OH

Significance: The Harlow Lewis Calvert Farmstead is a rare surviving example of Allegheny Plateau agricultural practices, land uses, and farm architecture. The corn crib was constructed at the end of the nineteenth or first decades of the twentieth century. Corn stored in this building was an essential part of the diet of swine and cattle raised by the Calvert family. The side of the building was used for equipment, tractor or truck storage. The comparison of this farmstead to others along the Green Branch Creek shows the changes in building and agricultural practices, land uses, farm animal and goods storage in a small agricultural district in the second half of the nineteenth and first half of the twentieth centuries in Rome and Carthage Townships, Athens County, Ohio.
