It was built for rancher Hiram S. Holly who settled in the area which later became the town of Holly in 1871.[2]
It is a one-and-a-half story structure of "transverse crib" type, having a central aisle with spaces for stalls or cribs on both sides. A tack room at the northeast corner of the barn gives it an overall L-shape. It was built by SS Ranch carpenter John Gores.[3]
The building has a gable roof.[3]
It is located about 100 yards (91 m) southeast of the original stone ranchhouse; together the two buildings are the only surviving buildings of the original ranch.[3] On the north side of the railroad tracks is the town's city hall, in the railroad station building.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.[1]
