Henderson Round Barn

Well I am sure this is the only round barn in the city of Edmonton. Located in Fort Edmonton this is the Henderson's Round Barn. This is the original barn built by Thomas Henderson in 1898 in the Rabbit Hill area of Edmonton which is the far south east area of the city.
Fortunately this barn was preserved and moved to the Park so many people can enjoy it whenever they make the trip to the park

[Shirley Banford]

Nice shot.

[Sandie Reardon]

This is really a beautiful shot of quite an interesting barn. The animals must have been quite confused in those days. ;)

[Sheila]

Wonderful barn shot!

[Shirley Chetwynd]

It looks wonderful

[Maggiemae]

The building is lovely to enjoy - so original and so old!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

I don't know if I've seen a round barn. It is very interesting looking. Great shot.

[Jim]

Mr Henderson must have been something else. Awesome structure!

[ladyjane]

Cool barn! Must have been a challenge to build that.

[Mrs. Smith]

I love it!! Thank you for sharing this one with me.

[Diane]

What a neat barn! You find the greatest things!

[Kim]

Wonderful capture. They were certainly creative in buidling this so long ago. We have some round barns in our area - I don't know much about them or visited one myself. Maybe someday...

[Tony]

Thanks for the information and the image. Mrs Smith @mrssmith has captured one in Indiana. All our sheds are rectangular and boring.

[Harry J Benson]

neat architecture, nicely presented

[Kathy Burzynski]

great find, i have never seen a round barn, is there an advantage to it being round?

[Jordan]

that's really neat, I didn't know round barns existed!

[Laerke Thorndal]

What beautiful craftmanship!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Round barns are really fascinating- I guess because we are so used to the square or rectangle ones. Nice shot!
@mrssmith look Carla! Even Canada has round barns!

[mervyn hobbs]

Very nice.

[Claire]

Great shot. of the intricate designed structure. We have no round barns in Florida but there is a site that lists all the round barns in the USA, many of which are in Indiana.
