Also I'm still trying to figure out the purpose of some of one of our outbuildings (there are 4) with a second story loft type door (going to nothing....no second story) and cement floor, with a sort of wainscotting about 2' high all around the inside.
Anyway, hell of a cool picture there.

Do you have any pictures?
We looked at a house built in 1817, with a cement floored attic with a large window - it was for storing bodies during the winter. The caskets would be raised and lowered thru the window. Sounds like what was going on in your outbuilding....
We've seen several dates for this house, and best we can figure is the original stone section is from the 1830's, and the cedar addition is from 1865.
The previous owners gave us a copy of the picture, an article about one of the previous owners (doctor who used this as a home and office), the national historic register certificate thingy, and a magazine in which the house is featured.
I'll post some interior shots I tooks the other night when it was clean....
