A small stabbur seen in an allotment garden.
It is quite unusual to see one in a city, so this is one to remember.
Out in the countryside some farms have had these for decades, and in the old days they were used to store food, meat as well as fruit and vegetables. Most did not have windows, and they were built on stilts, so that the floor was raised well above the ground, to prevent pests coming in.
Today many of them have been upgraded and turned in to guest quarters for visitors and tourists.
