This project involves historically sensitive exterior renovations to two landmark structures
at the University of Illinois South Farms: the Round Barn and the adjacent Manager’s
House. The work focuses on stabilization, selective replacement, and reinstallation of

Work is to be performed in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and
in coordination with ISHPO.
