Inscription. Built in the early 20th century, this Storage Shed is a great example of rural American building practices. Built for strength and function, not necessarily good looks, the shed was built by the Davidson family sometime in the early 20th century as a garage and workshop. Chickens may have taken up residence as well, as the Davidson family recalled naming the structure the "Chicken Coop."

Erected by Rural Hill.
