History
In a big red barn, down Route KK in Osage Beach, there's a whole lot of space and a whole lot of history. The owners knew some of the barn's story when they bought it in 2018, with plans to renovate the building and transform it into an apartment and self-storage space. Now with five apartments (all occupied) and 50 storage units, they are ready to get the word out: Red Barn Storage is open for business. Built in the first half of the 20th Century, the red barn was originally for horses; in fact, when the owners bought it, the horse stalls were still in place. Stories circulating about the property's past say the barn was used for cock fighting, card rooms, horse stables, and even hot rod restoration. It is the current owner's goal to write the next chapter in the Red Barn's heritage. They want to add value to the community by providing affordable residential apartments and self-storage units. At the same time, preserving the Barn's historic roots.
