Chris Jensen Round Barn

The Chris Jensen Round Barn was a historic round barn located at 11723 West Galena Road near Lena, Illinois. The barn was 60 feet (18 m) in diameter and featured a conical roof with a cupola. The barn's livestock stalls were arranged in parallel rows; this configuration was highly unusual among round barns, which typically featured wedge-shaped stalls arranged along the outer circle of the barn.[2]
