Summary
Photo caption pages & written data include site & floor plans.
Significance: As the primary original outbuilding of the Samuel Probst Farm, the barn contributes to the character and integrity of this early 20th century farm. The Probst barn is a Pennsylvania, or bank, barn design, consisting of a ramp and cantilevered forebay. This design allowed ground-floor access to both the upper floor, where grain storage was located, and the lower floor, where livestock was kept. While other barns of this type exist in the area, the Probst barn is unique because it has retained its architectural integrity and is part of a larger, intact agricultural complex.
