The coordinates are for the shoulder of the road giving about the best view of this old round barn. The barn is on the east side of Michigan State Route 66, just about a mile north of U.S. Hwy. 10. Despite having read that round barns were built that way for stall layout efficiency (one end of the cow being wider than the other), the scuttlebutt around these parts is that they were built round so that the devil couldn't corner you in the barn! There's good food and fuel down on the corner of MI SR-66 and U.S. 10 so mebbe you can wrastle some more lore from the locals there . . .
