Outshed on Bank Side
In some cases, barn builders created shed-roofed extensions flanking the bankside entrance to a Pennsylvania Barn. These usually contained granaries, and often had an access door on the gable-end side positioned so that a wagon could be loaded from the outshed by gravity power.
