Pole building design was pioneered in the 1930s in the United States originally using utility poles for horse barns and agricultural buildings. The depressed value of agricultural products in the 1920s, and 1930s and the emergence of large, corporate farming in the 1930s, created a demand for larger, cheaper agricultural buildings. [2]
The interior of the barns were characterized by a center driveway which acted as a threshing floor, similar to the breezeway of a crib barn. [4] The double doors generally opened onto the center drive which divided the building into two separate areas, one for hay and grain storage and the other for livestock.
Barns of all kinds were available by mail order from around 1905 to the 1940s. The Gothic-arch design was featured on both the front and back cover of The Book of Barns - Honor-Bilt-Already Cut [a] catalog published by Sears Roebuck in 1918. It was the most popular roof design for barns sold by Sears. [7]
