The Glick barn was built in 1923 with hollow clay tile walls and a central silo.

[2] The Cotes Barn was constructed of masonry walls, "double mow floor, gracious stairway, decorative shingling, lack of interior silo, and opposing dormers for ventillation.

"[2] It is significant due to its dual use of housing cattle on the first floor and dances on the second.

The barn was used by roller skaters during the 1950s and shows little wear or sagging."
