Notes
  • Significance: An object of "grand architectural curiosity... visited as a curiosity by thousands of people." (Holland, 1855). / The Hancock Shakers were organized between 1780 and 1790. The Round Stone Barn was built 1826 but about 1870 was accidentally burnt out. The framing of the structure was replaced by new. More recently a new cattle shed was erected to the south to furnish larger accommodations and to avoid re-constructing the cattle floor with reinforced concrete as required by the new Sanitary Code of the State of Massachusetts.
