Round Barn (107 E Highway 66) in Arcadia
Said to be the most photographed building along Route 66. Constructed in 1898, William Harrison Odor proved to all the skeptics of his day that it is very possible to build a round barn. The cattle were kept on the lower floor, while festivals were often celebrated upstairs.
In 1988 the barn was in a pitiful state, but the "over-the-hill gang" ("over the mountain gang" in reference to the old age of its members) around Luther Robinson restored it in order to present the unusual design to posterity receive.
