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.
Regards
Rebecca

Subject: Model farm question
Hi all
Anyone got an insights as to what a root house and
cutting house would specifically used for in a model farm context? 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.
Thanks in advance
Sarah
