Notes
The lower elevation shows the front of the dairy with a porch and tallys with the plan [36]. The other elevation showing the back of the dairy with a window and a door does not fit the plan being larger than the extension shown there and not having a back door. The use of thatch for the roofs and the rugged look to the walls give an impression of rural simplicity but also provided good insulation.
