Hi, Sarah I remember seeing a former rooting house where they used to store root vegetables for feeding the animals on either sides of the building. It was later used for storing fruit and vegetables for the members of the household. I have never seen a cutting house.

I am guessing rooms for doing something with cuttings & roots! We have a 'root house' in the family farm buildings back home, which was always used to hang onions & store potatoes when I was little, but have no idea as to whether this was the original purpose or where the name came from.
