National Register of Historic Places (Listed, 2015), The 1884 Henry and Mary Cyrus Barn is an increasingly rare example of a late-nineteenth century timber-frame barn in Linn County. The Cyrus family benefited the arrival and expansion of the railroad in the 1870s and 1880s, which created a local economic boom as farmers exported ever more wheat to national markets and imported needed equipment and building materials. For its time, the Cyrus Barn incorporated all the most modern features, including a mechanical hayfork, expansive hayloft, and steel-track roller doors. The barn was constructed using traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery (wood pegs) for the wood frame, while still incorporating newly available materials, including circular-sawn boards from local mills, machine-cut nails, and metal hardware. Notably, the interior, including the original grain bins and wood milking stanchions, remains largely intact. In the 1930s Swiss immigrant Franz (Frank) Schuler and his wife Eliza added two wood stave silos to the barn to store winter silage for dairy cattle. The silos are thought to be one of the last remaining examples of this type remaining in the County. (Source: Oregon State Historic Preservation Office)
