"Triumpho explores how the idea of round barns worked itself out in New York, where nearly two-third of them - mostly octagonal and multisided - were constructed before the turn of the century in twenty-nine counties." "More than seventy photographs and line drawings, historical data, and anecdotes by present owners make these bygone barns spring to life as the author shows why the round shape engaged farmers, how these eccentric barns rose to fashion, why so few survived, and why the remaining ones are worth studying - and preserving - as legitimate architecture and as a record of agricultural progress in New York State."--BOOK JACKET.
