194 p. : ill. ; photo. ; 26 cm. "Enchanted by their beauty, complexity, and historical significance, Tom and Helen Bartuska spent decades researching, visiting, and photographing twenty-one Washington round barns over fifty years old, at least two stories, and over fifty feet in diameter. They share what they learned-who built each structure and when, original and current uses, individual characteristics, construction details, and more. They also discuss the fascinating history, re-use, and creative preservation of round barns and other rural buildings and communities across the United States"-- Acknowledgments ix -- Chapter I.
