Pole building design was pioneered in the 1930s in the United States originally using utility poles for horse barns and agricultural buildings.

The Gothic-arch design was featured on both the front and back cover of The Book of Barns - Honor-Bilt-Already Cut [a] catalog published by Sears Roebuck in 1918. It was the most popular roof design for barns sold by Sears. [7] In 1915, Sears sold a 42-by-60-foot (13 m × 18 m) Gothic-arch barn for $1,500.
In US usage, a loft is an upper room or storey in a building, mainly in a barn, directly under the roof, used for storage (as in most private houses).In this sense it is roughly synonymous with attic, the major difference being that an attic typically constitutes an entire floor of the building, while a loft covers only a few rooms, leaving one or more sides open to the lower floor.
The barn contains a large upper-level loft. The outer wall is approximately 63 feet (19 m) in diameter, supported by a ring of 20 split posts which are breast high in the loft. An inner ring of 13 posts, 40 feet (12 m) in diameter, rises to support the rafters and define the edge of the loft's central space.
This bank barn in Illinois has a ramp of dirt and stone. The design of some bank barns is called a "high-drive bank barn" [8] allowed wagons to enter directly into the hay loft, making unloading the hay easier. Sometimes the high-drive was accessed by an earthen or wood ramp, and sometimes the ramp was covered like a bridge to make it more durable.
