Outbuilding: Feeding Shelter

This outbuilding has heavy wooden beams. It appeared to be a livestock feeding building.

It had a shed at the end - perhaps a grain storage building?

Stone House - An Ancient Dugout House on the property?

This is a photo of a "dugout" home built by early western settlers.

My title research performed on this property does not indicate there are more than two houses on this property.

However, I believe this outbuilding is in actuality a third house on the property - that it is an old dugout house. I believe at one time people may have lived in it and that the chicken coop was added on to the house.

There may be a lot of history buried around this building.

In the first photo here, there is an old sod house. Now if you look at the photo of the front of the outbuilding on the property, the construction resembles that of a dugout house.

The Shop on the property - was aTractor Repair Outbuilding?

This outbuilding appears to have been an open shop. There was a tractor repair business in trhe past on the property, so perhaps here is where they worked on the tractors.

There appears to be an airhose hanging, where they might have aired up tires.

I enhanced the color in this photo to show the beauty of the woodgrains in the barn wood.

The Slaughterhouse

Front of the Slaughterhouse

This is the slaughterhouse. I was told by one of the landowners that the previous owner allowed his friend to slaughter animals there, and that the friend then sold the meat.

East end of the slaughterhouse.

West End of the Slaughterhouse. Note the elevated animal cage behind the building. I believe that was a holding cage for chickens, or other small animals about to be slaughtered.

Close-up of counters inside the slaughterhouse. There are pipes and sinks, indicating it was a processing area.

Above is a collage I made of the slaughterhouse windows.
