The McFadden Barn (ca. 1900-01), located on a historic ranch north of Buena Vista, Colorado, was listed in the National Register March 31, 2022. The barn is significant for its architecture as a very good example of a large bank (or sidehill) barn, with three sides built into the slope of the land (providing access to the main level of the building) and the fourth side affording access to the barn’s lower level. The building features unusual joinery is clad with horizontal boards. Dendrochronological testing assisted the project in estimating the barn's date of construction.
