Backstory and Context
Text-to-speech Audio
A framed, gabled, tool shed was located on the Morgan Log House property, north of the dwelling, possibly near the garden or just north of it. It may have had a saltbox appearance. It is unknown the age of the shed, but it was likely torn down around the 1970s restoration of the dwelling.
The Forsythes used the outbuilding to store farm tools and equipment. "Sis" Forsythe Robinson sketched out the shed and its layout, which included a slate wall. The interior of the shed included a full-length work bench and two walls for hanging tools. Adjacent to the shed was a flower garden. The property also had a dirt drive that ran through the front of the property to the fields, located between the tool shed and the barn, likely the current low lying area between the two structures.
