It is a work of local black rock stonemason Thomas Frazer, who possibly also built the house in front.

It is notable as the only stone barn in Beaver, and furtherIt is quite large and not only is its craftsmanship of the highest caliber, but its design is quite pleasing.

It is a barn built by Thomas Frazer, the local Scots stonemason, and it displays four of the six characteristics commonly employed by Frazer in his work: 1) ashlar stonework, 2) dormer windows 3) white Dainted beaded mortar joints, 4) bargeboard around the eaves and dormers.

[2] Its Utah State inventory document further reports:This black stone barn is exceptional for many reasons: 1) the stone has been cut and laid up in courses on all four sides, rather than the customary two sides; 2) it is one of the few buildings in Beaver to display any Gothic motifs; 3) its original function was a barn, yet it has dormer windows and decorative Gothic Revival bargeboard; 4) the stonework is excellent and displays the "Frazer characteristics", i.e. beaded mortar joints that were once painted white and finely hewn black rock blocks (basalt) that were put up with black dyed mortar around the edges to give them an even squarer appearance.

Oddly, the chimney on the barn, which appears to have been original due to the type of brick and style, does not connect to a flue or fireplace of any sort.
