The Robert Kirkpatrick Round Barn is a historic building located near Coggon in rural Delaware County, Iowa, United States. It was built in 1919 by Robert Kirkpatrick on his own farm. The building is a true round barn that measures 60 feet (18 m) in diameter.[2] The barn is constructed of clay tiles and features a two-pitch roof with a large hay dormer on the east side and two smaller dormers on the west and north. It is one of 16 clay tile barns that were based on a design from the Johnson Brothers Clay Works in Fort Dodge, Iowa. The use of hollow clay tile is a distinctive trait in the construction of Iowa's round barns.[3] For many years it was used as a dairy barn before becoming a horse barn. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2005.[1]
