Triangle Lake Round Barn

	Triangle Lake Round Barn
Location	Eugene, Oregon
Added to NRHP	July 3 2017

The Triangle Lake Round Barn, located west of Eugene, Oregon, was built between 1946 and 1949, and added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 3 2017.^[1]

The barn was built by John P. Sumich (1925–2020), a dairy farmer. It holds the distinction of being the first round barn built in Oregon, and the only one used for dairy farming.^[2] The barn is created with locally sourced materials and uses concrete blocks for walls, Douglas fir beams for support poles, and aluminum sheet roofing.^[2]

While the condition of the barn has deteriorated after serving as a pheasant farm, a movement to restore the barn into a community center has gained some support since 2016.^[3] Beginning in 2016, the current owners began to raise funds, estimated to be about $53,000,^[3] for the restoration of the barn due to damage caused by several winter storms as well as a lack of maintenance while serving as a pheasant farm from 1996 on for several years.^[2]^[3] If restored, it is slated to be used as a community center and location for agriculture education for the local Triangle Lake School.^[3]
