Bronck Farm 13-Sided Barn

Bronck Farm 13-Sided Barn is a historic barn located in the town of Coxsackie in Greene County, New York. It was built about 1832 and is a thirteen-sided timber-frame structure with a hipped roof surmounted by an octagonal cupola. The barn has an overall diameter of approximately 70 feet, and its one-story interior is open in plan. Although associated historically with the nearby Bronck House, the barn is listed separately on the National Register of Historic Places.

The barn meets the definition of a round barn, as its polygonal form closely approximates a circular plan.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
