This warehouse is made similarly to those used in
Kentucky. That is, it's really a huge timber rack for barrels, with a
building-shaped wooden shell built loosely around it, covered with
corrugated steel sheets. And like Kentucky barns, this warehouse is painted
black -- an unusual color for farm buildings in this area. Pennsylvania
barns are traditionally a reddish color, although sometimes you see a few
white ones, too. |

Those weeds are waist-high to over-your-head, and underneath is swamp-like
mud of undetermined depth. We have to go in through that door behind the large
bush. |

Other than being empty, the building is in remarkably good condition,
considering its age. This warehouse is tall enough for three stories, but the barrel racks are only on the first two. The area at the top may have been used for stringing pulleys and tackle for maneuvering the heavy barrels. (below) |
