In 1874, German immigrant August Groppe, Sr., purchased this land and began a family farm. Groppe, a founder of West's German community, bought additional farmland in 1883 and hired local builder Joseph Huber to construct this barn in 1886. An excellent example of a late 19th century barn, it features an angled opening below the cross, brace-frame timber construction, open bays on one side, and a hay door in the cross gable.
