28 THE RURAL VOICE
This log outhouse is worthy of its
preservation at Black Creek
Pioneer Village. Very few examples
survive outside of heritage villages.
at the. side of the main laneway and
close to the house, were literally
designed for driving in and parking a
horse and buggy — and of course
were quite capable of storing most of
the farm equipment of the day.
Many of us might also
remember the milk -house,
located just a few steps out
the backdoor of the kitchen. I'm still
amazed at just how cool these milk -
houses were inside, even on the
hottest of days. Of course, it kept the
milk cool, but also other produce and
meat as well. One of my dad's best -
loved "chores" as a young farm boy
was his duty to help keep the niilk-
house lined with game in the winter.
Milk -houses are cool in more
ways than one. Kept cool by their
thick walls (and perhaps plastered on
the inside) and the overhang that
shaded the small door, few of these
sturdy little buildings survive today
— and many of those that do are
quickly deteriorating (see bottom
photo on first page of story). I've
been keeping my eyes peeled for an
old log example that I could acquire
and preserve as a garden or tool shed.
Fortunately, some have preserved
old milk -houses and shanties by
converting them to a modern use.
I've even seen some garden shed
examples from what used to be the
most popular building of its day —
the lowly outhouse (see photo
above). The outbuildings of Ontario's
farms maybe down, but they're not
out.0
