It was built c. 1912.[lower-alpha 1]

It is a wood-framed, rectangular gambrel roofed building.[3]

It was deemed significant for its architecture: "The barn is an excellent example with a gambrel roof, designed, planned and built by its original owner. The barn was built on a concrete floor with cottonwood and fir lumber, roofed originally with wood shingles, and sided with five-inch wood lap siding. The gambrel-roof structure meets the registration requirements for the Historic Agriculture-Related Resources of Kansas, historic context. Located on 5-acres within a much larger agricultural property, the Louis Werner barn is over 100 years old and still maintains its historic function and association."[3]

It is located at 4550 NE 80th Ave. on a five-acre (2.0 ha) homestead plot[3] amidst much larger fields.[4]
