The Barn Complex

Fintry’s octagonal Dairy Barn is the last standing eight-sided barn in B.C. and one of only a few in Canada. Dun-Waters contracted friend and architect John J. Honeyman to design and build the barn in 1924, requesting this innovative design to house his Ayrshire cattle. The Dairy Barn features a central silo ringed by stanchions and pens. The concrete floor was unusual in 1924, but much safer for cattle and men than a wooden floor.
