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."

A location that I have seldom visited is Great Staple tor on Dartmoor. You do get some amazing views from up on the tor which makes the hike up worthwhile
