Look at this lovely old rock building that I discovered at a property. It is called a smokehouse. I have heard of smokehouses all my life but was never in one that I remember and I have never understood them. So I asked for permission to snap a picture and here it is. I once wrote a blog about a pole barn and lots of people responded to it. Click https://activerain.com/droplet/cglb if you'd like to review it.
What I found interesting about this little house was windows. Or were they ever real windows? On my google search I read that they didn't have windows. I liked seeing the inside of the house as pictured below. Wood. So how'd they get the fire for the smoke?
And here is a close-up of one of the two windows. Interesting? Perhaps it is time to brush up on history and see how these things worked. And are they still used?
