This is one of three tobacco curing sheds on the farmstead. This shed (center) and one other shed (southernmost) are known to have been moved to this site from another location. The third (northernmost) was built on the property in 1890.
This shed is is a long gabled structure with horizontal board siding on a sawn timber and tamarack pole frame. Every third board of siding is hinged at the upper corners. Each gable end has a bay entrance for drive-through vehicle and machinery access. The bay entrances have no doors.
The roof of this shed is covered with corrugated metal. There are seven cylindrical metal vents along the ridge of the roof.
The shed has no windows.
The interior of the shed consists of a long passageway with an extensive interior framing system that divides the space into sections. The wood framing members are used to support tobacco leaves during the drying process.
Although it is possible that some of the individual framing or siding members have been replaced over the life of the structure, the building has a high level of integrity with respect to its design and materials.
