The Joseph F. Glidden House is located in the United States in the DeKalb County, Illinois city of DeKalb. It was the home to the famed inventor of barbed wire Joseph Glidden. The barn, still located on the property near several commercial buildings, is said to be where Glidden perfected his improved version of barbed wire which would eventually transform him into a successful entrepreneur. The Glidden House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The home was designed by another barbed wire patent holder in DeKalb, Jacob Haish. wikipedia
I gotta say that this is one ugly building! Mr. Haish may have been smart, but he shouldn't have tried his hand at architecture. I only photographed this house because it's on the Lincoln Highway and I've got a project in that regard. In addition, it's on the National Register of Historic Places (another project).
It took me a while to get up the gumption to post this because it's severely unattractive. But it's Easter weekend, so maybe nobody will notice. 😜
DeKalb has long been the center of the universe for barbed wire. Even the high school team is called the "Barbs."

An abandoned industrial building stands in a foggy environment. The structure, likely from the early 20th century, features a long, rectangular shape with multiple windows, and a prominent chimney stack rising from its roof. The surroundings include overgrown vegetation and debris scattered across a cracked concrete surface, indicative of years of neglect. The misty atmosphere adds an eerie ambiance, typical of industrial archaeology sites where past manufacturing activities have ceased, contributing to a desolate yet historically rich landscape.

The church is a small, simple rectanguglar building with a corner bellcote. It was built using pink granite blocks and has a slate roof. The principle south gable has good quality tooled stones with small joints, while the sides and rear are built in a slightly lower quality stone.
The south gable has a central round-arched doorway with a recessed wooden door and fanlight. On either side of the doorway is a tall and narrow round-arched window with large panes of frosted glass. In the gablehead is a quatrefoil panel, possibly a datestone (although no date or other lettering is visible), and there is a small stone finial on the apex. On the south-west corner of the gable is a tall, gabled bellcote with a small opening in which hangs a bell.
The side elevations of the church (east and west) each have four equally-spaced round-arched windows, again with clear frosted glass. The rear gable is blank apart from a chimney on the apex. Attached to the gable is a single story vestry with a side door and chimney.
