Summer kitchen and Stable
This building has been extensively restored. There is evidence that
another residence was attached to the front (right, in this picture) of
this building. The kitchen ell is to the right (note fireplace).
Chicken Coop
Has a poured concrete and stone foundation. Probably built in the late
1890s to early 1900s. Large windows and sunlight were considered
beneficial for poultry. The presense of a separate chicken coop shows the
changing perception of poultry from nuisance animal to useful animal, made
possible with advances in treating and preventing poultry diseases.
Granery and Corn Crib
1850s. Cut nails. Spacers between
clapboards (left side) for ventilation of corn crib bins. Building raised
on stone posts to prohibit vermin.
