Star Barn Complex, also known as the John Motter Barn and Outbuildings and "Walnut Hill," is a historic farm outbuilding complex located at Lower Swatara Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. It includes a large barn, pig barn (c. 1872), carriage house (c. 1872), chicken coop (c. 1872), grain silo, and milk house. The main barn, known as the Star Barn, was built in 1872, and is a five bay, Gothic Revival style frame building. It features an immense cupola atop a cross-gable roof.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[1]

Dismantling of the barn began in October 2015 in preparation for a move to a site in Lancaster County where it will be preserved.[3]
