It was built in October 1940 by Harry Keith (1893-1961), with his brothers and neighbors.[3]
It is built into a hillside with entrances on two levels, thus is a bank barn.[4][5] It has a gambrel roof with a hay hood at each end.[3]
An adjacent 30 feet (9.1 m) tall Aeromotor wind pump was installed at the same time. This was probably the Aermotor 702 model which was available from 1933 on, is a contributing structure in the listing. This fills a 4,000 US gallons (15,000 L) water tank.[3]
It's located on M Road east of 200th Avenue in Graham County, Kansas,[1] about 3.5 miles (5.6 km) south of the unincorporated community of Penokee.
Today, the Kansas Barn Alliance offers tours of the barn during their annual BarnFest celebration.[6]
