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 to 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 to 1900. The second, the true circular era, spanned from 1889 to 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.

Mulcahy Barn is a historic building located south of Colo, Iowa, United States. It is a hybrid of German and English immigrant barns, and it is considered an excellent example of a bank barn. The German influence was the placement of the livestock on the lower level, while the simple lines of the upper level reflect the British/colonial influence. The Mulcahy's, who built the barn, were more than likely familiar with the latter. They learned the former after their arrival in Iowa, which had a large German and Scandinavian population by the time they arrived. It was completed around 1885 with board and batten siding on the upper portion and a fieldstone foundation. That foundation was replaced in the mid-20th century with concrete, and again with concrete in 2000. The barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.
The James McCollister Farmstead, also known as the Old Charlie Showers Place, is a historic farmstead located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States.

He laid a claim on the land in 1836, but it was not available until after the Second Black Hawk Purchase of land from the Sauk, Meskwaki (Fox), and Ho-Chunk (Winnebago) tribes in 1837. The claim was secured by The Claim Association of Johnson County until the land was put up for sale in 1840. This was the first farm listed in Johnson County. Clark sold the farm to James McCollister in 1863, and he expanded it to 750 acres (300 ha). He also built the house and the barn, which are the subjects of the historical designation. The farm was owned by his descendants until 1974.
