Hans J. Jorgensen Barn is a historic building located in Kimballton, Iowa, United States. Its significance is derived from its association with Jorgensen, who was the instrumental in the founding and early growth of the town, a Danish immigrant community.[2] The barn is a pyramidal roof variant of the Square Hipped Roof Barn. Built in 1908, it is the only barn of this type that remains in the Danish Settlement area.[2] The concrete blocks used for its foundation and the adjacent silo, which are part of this historic nomination, were locally produced in a Danish-influenced industry. This two-story heavy-timber structure utilized mortise and tenon construction for the animal stalls and supports for the hay loft. The barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[1]
