Arcadia Round Barn: The Arcadia Round Barn is a landmark in the town of Arcadia, Okla. Seen at the bottom of the photo is the Route 66 highway, which passes through the small farming community north of Oklahoma City. Photo by Gary Warren/ladailypost.com
Entrance: The entrance doors to the round barn are seen from this side of the structure. The downstairs serves as a local museum with displays of tools and equipment used by pioneers. The ground floor includes a gift shop. The upper floor, reached by the exterior steps, leads to the only entrance upstairs. Workers saw the value of a local gathering place under the domed roof and convinced builder William Odor to install a finished hardwood floor. Photo by Gary Warren/ladailypost.com
Heads Up: A view of the roof of the round barn is a work of art. The timbers were cut and shaped to the curvature of the domed roof before installation. This photo was made from the center of the room, looking straight up toward the center point of the roof. Photo by Gary Warren/ladailypost.com
