The George Obendorf Gothic Arch Truss Barn is a Gothic-arch barn built in 1915 from a Sears, Roebuck & Co. kit. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1][2]

It is located at the rear of the George Obendorf farm complex in Canyon County, Idaho about 6 miles (9.7 km) north of Wilder.[2]

It is 42 by 60 feet (13 m × 18 m) in plan and rests on a concrete foundation. Its components were pre-manufactured by Sears, Roebuck & Co., shipped to Wilder, and assembled by local carpenters and the Obendorf family.[2]
