| Additional Information: | The free-standing milk house was constructed c.1901 for the storage and washing of dairying equipment as well as the temporary storage of milk. An adjacent well provided clean water. The small building is rectangular in plan with clapboard walls and a new asphalt-shingled gable roof. A door of vertical board construction is centered in its eastern wall; another doorway has been cut into the clapboard siding in the western wall. Four-pane fixed-sash windows are located in the north and south walls. This building ceased to function as a milk house when a new concrete block milk house was added to the barn complex in 1956; at that point, the building simply served as a pump house for the adjacent well. |
