Summary edit

Description
English: Located at 101 N Main St., St. Donatus, (New village.) Jackson County, Iowa. 2-story gable roof with side gable entrance. Built by Peter Gehlen out of native limestone in 1839. One of the oldest (if not the oldest) barn of this type in Iowa. Located behind the historic Gehlen House, built 1848. Old World Luxembourg architecture. The thin, long, open slots in the side of the building were for ventilation, not, as some have suggested, for gun ports. Combines quarters for family, livestock, as well as storage space for feed.

This is an image of a place or building that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the United States of America. Its reference number is 79000901.
