| The Peter French Round Barn is in Eastern Oregon on the High Dessert. |
The roof resembles a large umbrella. The red ceder shake roof is held up with juniper posts.
 |
| It was built in the 1880's by cattle baron Peter French for training horses year around. It is 100 feet in diameter with a 60 foot round stone corral ringed by a 20 foot outer circle where they rode the horses. |
The gates swing on mortar hinges.

Is Eastern Oregon the only place this type of barn can be found? It is a very interesting barn. I like how it was designed. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Becky, I'm not sure if Eastern Oregon is the only place or not. I haven't really researched round barns. This on is ten miles form our property in Eastern Oregon.
