Rupert Granary

This little granary is a remarkable example of early New England craftsmanship. It is a classic granary or corn crib, with eve walls that are wider at the top than at the base, making the walls tip out five inches on each side. This technique was used to help in keeping the valuable corn and grain dry. The rafters are hewn hardwood, as are the posts and other beams. The granary has a central loft, and could be converted to be half loft or full loft.
