O. C. Barber Piggery

The O. C. Barber Piggery, built in 1912, is a historic farm building located in Barberton, Ohio, on the Anna-Dean Farm. Created by industrialist O. C. Barber, known as America's Match King, the Piggery was originally designed to house swine but transitioned to sheep and then calves after health issues arose. The striking 300-foot-long building, painted in patriotic colors, showcases Barber's vision for modern agriculture and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. This site offers a glimpse into early 20th-century agricultural practices and the development of planned communities in America.
