Second Dairy Barn, ca. 1939. A new dairy barn was built in 1937/38 as a WPA project to replace the 1908/09 barn. This massive structure was located just south of Harrison Blvd. between 35th and 53rd Streets, on the dairy program's current site. The barn burned on February 7, 1967, attracting hundreds of onlookers.
