The Jim Morris Barn is a historic barn on the south side of Arkansas Highway 66 in Timbo, Arkansas. It is a two-story gambrel-roofed frame structure, with a stone foundation and board-and-batten exterior. Built in a transverse crib plan, it has a narrow central path instead of a wide drive typical of the form. Built c. 1900, it is unusual in having been designed specifically for the stabling of horses, rather than more general-purpose usage of most area barns. [2]

The barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. [1]

The Stack Barn is an unusual and historic barn in Benton County, Arkansas. It is located near Monte Ne about 500 feet (150 m) south of Arkansas Highway 94 1.5 miles (2.4 km) east of its junction with the spur route of AR 94 leading to the old Monte Ne resort area. Built in 1901, the barn's features are an amalgam of styles found from Pennsylvania to the American South. It is rectangular in shape, with a tin gabled roof that has a slight projection near the top at one end, and board-and-batten siding. Unlike typical Arkansas barns, it is set on slope with a stone foundation, creating a bank barn with an accessible basement more typical of northeastern barns, and necessitating a proper floor for the main level. The interior is laid out like a fairly typical 19th-century midwestern three-portal barn.
