Chicago Roads in Livonia, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1973.[1][2] This was the beginning of the Ira Wilson & Sons Dairy Company, a now defunct company (which partnered for a time with Kroger and was ultimately acquired by Melody Farms in 1980). There were several large iconic cow's head sculptures, which were fixtures in the Detroit metropolitan area.[2][3][4][5][6][7] HistoryIra Wilson was born in 1867, and began his career in dairy farming at an early age, working on the farm owned by his family since 1847.[8] He built a barn on this site in 1888; in 1919 the barn burned and he built the present structure on the foundations of the earlier barn.[8] Wilson eventually established a million-dollar dairy, creamery, and trucking business, the Ira Wilson & Sons Dairy,[8][9] and served for two terms as Wayne County sheriff. Wilson died in 1944, and the lower level of the barn was converted for use as a horse stable in the same year.[8]As of 2011, the Wilson Barn is managed by "The Friends of the Barn," a volunteer group.[10] DescriptionThe barn is a post-and-beam structure faced with wood siding, resting on a stone foundation and having a gambrel roof.[8] A silo made of dark brown, glazed tile is attached to the barn.[8] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|2009a}} 2. ^{{cite journal |url=http://georgeco.com/milking-it-dairy-field-magazine-april-2001/ |title=Milking It |work=Dairy Field Magazine |publisher=Michael George, Stagnito Publishing |date=April 2001 |accessdate=January 4, 2018}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://detroitkidshow.com/A_Tale_Of_Two_Cow_Heads.htm |title=A Tale of Two Cow heads |accessdate=January 4, 2018 |publisher=Detroitkidshow.com}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.loc.gov/item/2017706787/ |title=Wilson's Dairy |type=Photograph |publisher=Library of Congress |accessdate=January 4, 2018}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=https://detroit.curbed.com/2016/5/20/11720628/wilsons-dairy-building-8mile |quote=The cow head had its fifteen minutes of fame when it appeared in the 2002 Eminem film 8 Mile.
