The Ling Foy Room! West side of Rt 58 just north of Webster Rd, Pittsfield. Designed and built by homeowner William Hachen in 1954 as an antique shop specializing in Asian furniture, ceramics, etc. I have heard it was used as a roadside honey hut in later years. Still there and looking good.

Ohio Round Barns database lists this as being built in 1949 (?)

You're right. I have two newspaper articles from 1954 about the building and I had the impression it was newly built at that time. But it mentions he thought of it 6 years early and began building the following year.
