| Additional Information: | This shed stands on the historic C.E. Meredith farmstead. Only the house on this property was previously inventoried in the AHI (227236). County records indicate the utility shed was built in 1926, although it is not apparent in the 1937 air photo. The small square-plan building has a shallow hipped roof with asphalt shingles. A wood door is set in the east wall, and the walls are clad in stucco. The shed is not individually eligible. The farmstead as a whole is also recommended not eligible for listing in the NRHP. |
