Description and history

This round vernacular structure is 10 feet (3.0 m) in diameter and 10 feet (3.0 m) high. It has a cement roof and two steel beams traverse the entire structure extending beyond the walls. Built by an unknown stonemason on an experimental/demonstration farm, the building was used to hang slaughtered animals.

The design and materials functioned to provide a cool protected site for the storage of carcasses.
