Title	Anna Dean Farm Barns Photographs
Subject	Plants and Animals Architecture Agriculture Barns Farms
Place	Barberton (Ohio) Summit County (Ohio)
Description	The first photograph shows the Anna Dean Farm Barn #1, which was built in 1909 and housed O.C. Barber's dairy cows. In 1985, the barn was restored by Yoder Brothers, Inc., and serves as their world headquarters. A second photograph shows Barn #2, which was built in 1910 and housed Barber's pride herd of Belgian horses. More than 150 work horses were used on the farm, and he also kept some for show and riding. This building was destroyed by fire in 1967. These photographs measures 7.75" x 9.5" (16.69 x 24.13 cm). Ohio Columbus Barber was born in 1841 and was the town founder of Barberton, Ohio. He was president of Barber's Diamond Match Company factory, which he retired from in 1909. At then created the 3,500-acre Anna Dean Farm. In addition to the barns, the estate included an elaborate fifty-two room French Renaissance Revival style mansion, 13 acres of greenhouses, a dairy processing plant, a flour mill, power houses, a farm office, and a hotel to house farm employees. When O.C. Barber died in 1920 he had planned to give Anna Dean Farm to Western Reserve University, which would continue the farm experiment as an agricultural school. Due to financial difficulties, however, the university was not able to support an agricultural school, and the farm was shut down. It was sold to the A.O. Austin family in 1926. The family lived in the mansion until 1964, when A.O. Austin died. The mansion was demolished in 1965.
