There are two views of an elaborate barn just east of Benton, Columbia County. This
landmark has a background story associated with the "belfry" appurtenance. Built more
than a century ago, the builder did not feel comfortable in a church, so he had what he
called a “belfry” constructed on his barn roof giving him the feeling that he was in a
sacred place under his barn roof. As the story goes, his religious fervor was somewhat in
question by his generous supply of booze made available to the laborers erecting the
barn.
The second owner also had his eccentric personality remembered long after he died. It
seems the barn had fallen into disrepair and was badly in need of paint. Barrels of paint
were purchased and stored in the barn until a machine shed was erected. Upon com
pletion of the shed, the tax assessor appeared at the farm and announced that the
property tax would be increased because of the new khed-to which the owner replied, "I
suppose if I paint, that, too, will raise my taxes.” The assessor agreed and the farmer
said, “Then I won't paint”.
The barrels of paint remained in the building until the property was again sold.
Present owners are L and K Mills of Benton. It has been restored to its original good
looks and continues to draw attention to most who pass by.
