The tobacco plantation in the area of Klaten Regency has many huge barns for drying tobacco since the year of 1850s, named los. The los(es) can be found in remote area in the villages; such as in Bendo Gantungan, within Gayamprit tobacco plantation. In other area, some of the los(es) can be seen from the main road or from the train within Yogyakarta - Surakarta; but they are not as many as in the year of 1970s – 1980s. The finding of this research confirms that los has high vernacular value. This can be shown not only from its organization of space; but also from its form, its local materials, and its local technique. Abstract in Bahasa Indonesia:
