United States historic place

The O. C. Barber Creamery, built in 1909, is an historic farm building located at 365 Portsmouth Avenue on the Anna-Dean Farm in Barberton, Ohio. It was built by American businessman and industrialist Ohio Columbus 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]

On May 22, 1973, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
