Karrar (Karrer), set well back from the road in a field.","why_significant":"The inventory records it as a late 19th-century agricultural building, probably built by George M. Karrar, who bought the property in 1877 and built his residence nearby in 1897. It is a surviving bank barn that has stayed in the same family and is listed under architecture.","narrative":"This bank barn on Dublin Road in Washington Township, Franklin County, dates from the late 19th century. It has two levels at grade, a gable roof with metal covering, a stone foundation, and a wood frame clad in vertical boards. The barn sits about 100 feet from the road, set well back in a field, with trees to the south and west and a low stone wall along the eastern lot line. The inventory suggests it was probably built by George M. Karrar, who purchased the property in 1877 and built his residence nearby in 1897. The barn is still used as a barn and is still in the Karrar family. It is recorded as part of a survey of historic resources in Washington Township, and its value lies in its representation of late 19th-century farm architecture and the continuity of family ownership on the same land.","period_of_significance":"Late 19th century","architect_builder":"Probably George M.
