The Farwell Barn (Photographs 1-5) is a 19 th-century post-and-beam framed clapboarded barn that was built as part of a family farm and then in 1911 was acquired by the Connecticut Agricultural College, the institution that became the University of Connecticut at Storrs. The barn is situated well back from Storrs Road (the 18 th -century dwelling associated with the barn was destroyed by fire in 1976) , and it stands on the crest of a hill that slopes downward to the south (Clouette, Section 7-1).

Its siting at the corner of Storrs Road and Horsebarn Hill Road, coupled with the extensive open land to the south and east, part of the University of Connecticut’s agricultural complex, makes the Farwell Barn a visually prominent feature in the landscape.
