JOURNALING: The Milk House, built late 1800’s. The purpose of the Milk House was to isolate fresh milk from the smells and dust of the barn. Milk houses provided a place to store and cool milk; to store milk cans not in use; and to wash and dry containers. The Milk House was built close to the street for ease of transport to local markets and for pick up by local purchasers. 10/28/16 The Everal Barn, Westerville OH.

Very cool, and the picture of the milk house looks perfect with the sketch of the barn next to the photo! Very clever to show off the color milk barn and then sketched barn. Thanks for including the journaling, I love learning new things!
oh how beautiful your sketch is and thank you for letting us read the journaling.. how interesting! I have always loved farms and old dairy farms for sure. this is really gorgeous.. Love the blending of your sketch into the background paper and I love all the milk cap inserts under your photo.. I remember getting the milk in the glass jugs from the milk man and those were in the center of the foiled cap. We had a little silver insulated box on our stoop that would be where it would get delivered. Your page here is stunning and really sparked some happy memories!! Thanks!!
This is great! Love the barn sketch and the picture of the milk house together and all the elements under the picture. Interesting info. about what the milk house was for.
That sketched photo is so cool and blended into the bg nicely. Loved learning about the milk house. As a child, we used to go to a farm and help milk the cows by hand.... they didn't have a milk house, just a barn.
