The Hazelwood round barn was built by O. Earl White, a graduate of Purdue University in 1916. It is said that the wood used in the barn’s construction is treated cypress from Louisiana, that has never been painted.

Round barns are a design intended for efficiency that never really caught on. They were most popular between the 1880’s and 1920’s. Originally 219 polygonal and round barns were constructed throughout Indiana. While hundreds more were built throughout the United States and Canada during that time. As of 2017, there were only 73 remaining in Indiana.
