Actually the Blue BALL Barn, which houses the headquarters of Alapocas Run State Park.
Its name derives from a blue ball that marked the now-vanished intersection of Concord Pike and Foulk Road. Outside an inn that served as a stagecoach stop along Concord Pike, there was a post with a large blue ball that was raised to the top to signal the coachman that a passenger was waiting.
