National Register of Historic Places Federal list of historic sites in the United States

The National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) is the United States federal government's official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects deemed worthy of preservation for their historical significance. A property listed in the National Register, or located within a National Register Historic District, may qualify for tax incentives derived from the total value of expenses incurred in preserving the property.

The barn "is an exceptionally well-preserved example of a four-crib log barn representing late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century farming and ranching in the Chickasaw Nation and Oklahoma between 1895 and 1950. The use of square-notching, which is a simpler technique associated with the waning of log construction proficiency, supports a late nineteenth-century construction date. After 1950 agriculture in Oklahoma had become largely mechanized and began to intensify and specialize enough that general-purpose barns, especially log barns, became increasingly obsolete. Unlike frame-constructed barns, log barns could not be easily electrified or plumbed, and they were essentially useless for storing machinery. The James H. Bounds Barn was never modernized, but it did remain in use for hay storage until the late 1980s." [3]

Round barn circular storage building

A round barn is a historic barn design that could be octagonal, polygonal, or circular in plan. Though round barns were not as popular as some other barn designs, their unique shape makes them noticeable. The years from 1880–1920 represent the height of round barn construction. Round barn construction in the United States can be divided into two overlapping eras. The first, the octagonal era, spanned from 1850–1900. The second, the true circular era, spanned from 1889–1936. The overlap meant that round barns of both types, polygonal and circular, were built during the latter part of the nineteenth century. Numerous round barns in the United States are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

He worked the land until the late nineteenth century, and died here in 1902. Since his death the house has been vacant for long periods of time.

Rubble stone is used on the other elevations. It also features dressed lintels and window sills. Because it is located on a south facing hillside, the house has a split-level appearance. Because it shares characteristics with other stone houses built in Madison County by local stonemason Caleb Clark, he may have been responsible for its construction. The lower level of the English-style barn is composed of coursed limestone rubble, and the upper level is composed of board-and-batten siding. It is located in a German-style hill setting. The house and barn were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
