The O. C. Barber Colt Barn, built in 1910, is an historic farm building located on Austin Drive on the Anna-Dean Farm in Barberton, Ohio. It was built by American businessman and industrialist Ohio Culumbus Barber, the developer of both Barberton, which he envisioned as a planned industrial community, and the nearby 3,500-acre (14 km²) Anna-Dean Farm, which he envisioned as a prototype for modern agricultural enterprise. Barber was called America's Match King because of his controlling interest in the Diamond Match Company.[2]

It is one of the smalled barns on the Anna-Dean Farm and was first called Bull Barn No 2 and used to house bulls until 1912, when it was renamed the Colt Barn and used to house colts and mares in foal.[3]

On October 09, 1974, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
