Ralphsnyder Decagonal Barn is a historic decagonal shaped barn located near Masontown, Preston County, West Virginia. The 10-sided barn was built in 1890, and is a frame building with an unusual steeple-shaped cupola. The barn was moved to its present site in 1981, which necessitated a number of replacements of portions of the original structure and roof. It is the only 10-sided barn known to have been constructed in West Virginia.{{cite web|url=https://wvculture.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Ralphsnyder-decagonal-barn.pdf|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form: Ralphsnyder Decagonal Barn|date=September 1984|accessdate=2011-09-01 |author=Ralph Pederson and Margo Stafford|publisher=State of West Virginia, West Virginia Division of Culture and History, Historic Preservation}}
