CANBY IMPLEMENT SHED
Barns and sheds were part of a rural landscape. These outbuildings are sometimes easy to identify since they are specifically designed for just one use, like ice houses, tobacco drying barns, poultry houses, root cellars, smoke houses and milk houses.
An implement shed such as this would be used to store horse drawn farm machinery of all sorts:
- Disc plow
- Hay rake
- Grain binder
- Slush scraper
- Wagon
- Harrows
...and much more.
