Barn or machinery barn, Tonawanda Creek Road, Niagara County, NY. CharlesB says "This 'accordion' barn hints of some use. You can see a few objects thru the door. Close inspection showed them to be total junk."

Buildings, (chicken coop?), Erie County, Route 39 near Collins, NY

Jack S. writes: "Looks like a corn crib may have been chicken coop at a later date."

On 12/27/11 Steve B. writes "That is a corn crib. Normally, a smallish building with the bottom smaller than the top, with slots between vertical slats, is a corn crib. Used for winter storage of corn, they were designed to help keep mice and other critters from getting at the corn. Usually they are near the house of the farm. They come in all sizes. At one time, every farm had one but they are falling fast."

Building is located next to the train depot in Rouses Point, NY. It was just vacated by the railroad and Department of Home Land Security late last year. It is scheduled to be torn down in the near future.

CharlesB writes "I am a former Rouses Pointer. I didn't know for sure if this old building was going to be demolished. I think there is a smaller building in back of it (or it might be this very building), where the few AmTrack riders get on or off. The building for the potential train riders is depressing and doesn't do the old home town any public relations good. The Village Board is still keeping the $ 750,000 dollar grant to restore the depot in the piggybank. I was told this summer that the rate-limiting step is acquiring properly-trained renovators. I am beginning to doubt that. What would you call the little architectural gems on the depot (Victorian, Gothic, Old World or some blend)? This is where the properly-trained renovator shortage is impacting (I am told). I imagine they will fix the parking area, too. It has more holes and dips in it than a GM proving ground!"
