Status edit
Is this barn still standing? A search of the internet did not turn up any photos that match the description. Google maps says the address is restricted. The Ohio registry of historic landmarks says photos are restricted. The National Register of historic landmarks doesn't seem to have been updated since 1979. None of the references in the article provide a photo. This is unusual for a culturally significant building that's been around for a hundred years.

- Presumably the landowner told the National Register (on which the OHS page depends) that they weren't allowed to publish it. However, one thing you say is incorrect — there's a photo in Oberlin Architecture, College and Town. Unfortunately, the book is obscure enough that you're unlikely to find it except in university libraries or in public libraries near Oberlin. Nyttend (talk) 15:06, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
I was also unable to locate photos except of Yellowstone-related Reamer barns. The Ohio Historical Society does not list this on its historic sites index (nor does it appear on its map of historic sites). There's a Reamer Place in Oberlin but I don't see anything old-barn-like on the satellite map. The book mentioned by Nyttend is available on Amazon but there's no preview--a number of universities do stock it; however, it was published in 1985 so I would hesitate to call any photos in there "current". The Ohio Historical Society may be able to confirm the site's status and provide more information--I can't call Ohio during the workday but their number's (614) 297-2300. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.17.202.244 (talk) 15:53, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
- Again, it's because the NR doesn't publish the address and because OHS depends on the NR's database. It's privately owned, so I strongly doubt that they'd be able to give updates. Blodgett's book mentions the Reamer Place in Oberlin (if I remember rightly, it's on S. Professor Street), but that's a different place — click the coordinates at the very top right corner of the article to get a map of where the barn is. Finally, note that there's a slight connection to the Yellowstone barns; their designer was Robert Reamer, who's linked in this article as "his nephew Robert". Nyttend (talk) 16:40, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
