The Brooks Round Barn was a historical building located near Nashua in rural Floyd County, Iowa, United States. It was built in 1914 by Emil Cable, with Dale Butler as the supervisor. The building was a true round barn that measured 74 feet (22.6 m) in diameter.[2] It was constructed of clay tile and featured a two-pitch roof and a 16-foot (4.9 m) central clay tile silo.[3] The interior featured stanchions around the silo on the ground floor, double horse stalls and grain bins in a circular arrangement on the main floor, and a hayloft. The barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1] It was destroyed in 1995.[3]
