Wagon Barn Wagon Barn Originally built by James Walker around 1885, he Walker grandchildren referred to this building as the machine barn. In the 19th century, it served as storage for wagons, buggies and farm equipment. Horses were sheltered in stalls on the south side of the barn. William Walker and his son, Jim, rebuilt the barn in the 1930s, duplicating the original style.
Fire damage is visible on several of the upright posts inside the barn.
It is possible burned trees from a late 1800s fire on the ranch may have been used for lumber. Early builders, however, often chared their lumber in the belief that it offered protection from rot and infestation.
