Utah, Summit County, McPolin Farmstead
The main body of the large white barn on the McPolin Farmstead was likely completed in 1921. The two grain silos and milking parlor additions were added in 1954. The barn features a gambrel roof, which provided an ample hayloft for a large herd. Two cupolas atop the roof offered fresh air for the cows, while long rows of small windows illuminated the stable area. As housing units were constructed on the nearby mountainside, Park City purchased a portion of the farmland, including the barn, to ensure the farmstead would be preserved and maintained to reflect the agricultural and historical landscape of the valley before the ski resort era. The farmstead is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
