“The Noon Hour”; five horses drinking water in the barnyard of the Main Barn, Central Experimental Farm, date unknown (pre-1918).

The Main Barn was constructed in 1888. It was meant to be a model barn for well-off farmers, consisting of grain storage, cow-rearing accommodations, and a barnyard.

Unfortunately, the original barn burned down in 1913. A new, almost identical structure was built in its place in 1914, maintaining a very similar appearance to the original.

Today, this building is part of the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum.
