The two-story round barn is a 65 feet (20 m) tall with adobe walls on a concrete foundation, and has a double pitch, domed roof topped by a hexagonal cupola.

The barn was built by Anthony F. Joseph, the owner and manager of the Ojo Caliente Hot Springs.

[2] The hay hood dormer over the barn door was added by later owners, when the original opening there, flush with the domed roof shape, proved too exposed.

At the time of its NRHP listing, it was believed to be the only round barn in New Mexico.
