Silo on SS, north of Cameron
I've always wanted to get a photo of this silo, because of its wood shake shingle roof - or what's left of it. It's very unusual, probably constructed nearly a hundred years ago. As you can see, it has a stone foundation.
Barn/Shed/Granary ?
Or maybe I should use the more generic term, 'outbuilding'

On that same property
Nearby is this building. I don't know why it has such an odd roof line. Kevin thinks it's so that they could put a door on this (east) side.
So then why didn't they just build the sidewalls higher in the first place?
Who knows. Money?
Frugality was much more common in that generation.
Can't you hear Grandpa Walton saying, 'Why spend money you don't have, to buy something you don't need?!'
That was the generation that lived through the WWI, the Influenza Pandemic of 1918, The Stock Market Crash of 1929, The Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, WWII, The Korean Conflict, and The Viet Nam War. They lived much of their lives before rural electrification, and went from the era of horse and buggy travel to jet airliners.
And I don't remember my grandpa ever complaining about snow.
