Interesting! That will be quite the scene.
The "non-round" corn cribs here are generally made by simply stacking boards "flat" in an octagon shape. Huge requirement for wood, but I guess it was plentiful in those days.
This one is from out west, but there are/were similar ones here. There is also a variation where the boards aren't fitted together, just overlapped, which creates a semi-open structure (for drying?).
