Mystery Building

 So what do you think? Pig house? Air raid shelter? We have no idea!


People have grown fond of me, like some old building.

I'll bet it was a shelter for chickens, maybe? Either that or the walls of a little shed collapsed and only the roof stayed intact. So interesting, Ginny! ~Andrea xoxo

I thought it was a basement type of thingy .. like a shield house...

Hootin Anni said...

Bomb shelter from long ago. lol
That was my first thought.

Shug said...

Whatever it is or was, it sure has a nice roof. Perhaps it was a house that has now sunk into the ground. lol
OR...maybe someone built the roof first and never finished the building. Interesting...

Ann said...

I don't know for sure but there is something similar around here and I've always wondered about it.

Jeannie McKhaos said...

Looks like possibly an old spring house to me.

Nancy Chan said...

I really have no idea but it makes a good house for the chickens.

George said...

I have absolutely no idea.

Rose said...

Looks like a an outbuilding lost its foundation.

A little old lady's house? You know the one who lived in a shoe moved to bigger and better house?

Tamago said...

I have no idea, either! Wonder what it can be?

MadSnapper said...

It looks like there used to be a sled there and it collapsed and they kept the roof but it may be something that shelter something. Get another curious and interesting thing that we need an answer for you're going to have to start knocking on doors and asking people with questions that we need to know the answers to

Dog house?

Jeanette said...

I have no clue but I think I've seen something like that around here before!

Wonder if it is a roof of a house - long ago???

Anonymous said...

Could be a cellar with a attic over it, my grandma had one something like this.Attic had a very small door and was used to store things too good to throw away. My parents had a cellar with a smoke house over it but was much taller.Or as Jeannie said maybe a spring house.

Hmm, I hope you will tell us. ;-) My guess is a hog house.

Great-Granny Grandma said...

Interesting. Maybe a chicken house?

Jenny the Pirate said...

I'm going with pig house! Haaahaha oink xoxo

Mari said...

Very cool, whatever it is! Around here some people have similar things covering their wells.

DawnTreader said...

I'm thinking cellar dug into the ground for storage of food? but I've never seen on with quite that kind of roof I have to say. On what kind of property was it?

DeniseinVA said...

That's an interesting building. A barn that lost its support of planked walls? But it would be a useful house for pigs I'm sure :)

Martha said...

That is really odd. I want to know what it really is!

Into the Green

  While making a trip over Afton Mountain for a doctor appointment, I was fascinated by the beautiful green. The way the sun was shining on ...
