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
