The John Avey Barn is a historic barn in rural western Stone County, Arkansas. It is located in the hamlet of Big Springs, on the north side of County Road 87 near the junction with Rosebud Road. It is a gambrel-roofed timber frame structure, with vertical board siding. Built in 1906, it is the only documented bank barn in the county, with ground-level entrances on both levels. The southern end provides access to the lower level, while the upper level is accessed via an entrance on the north end.[2]
