I guess it wasn't really a wood *shed* -- It was the room off the
dining room.

There were 7 fireplace in that house-- 4 downstairs and 3 upstairs.
The wood 'shed' was the size of a 2 car garage.

"summer kitchen" by chance? or just a big "mud room". Or was it used
to store fire-wood? In which case it was a "wood shed"

Oops- *8* fireplaces. the summer kitchen was in the basement. it
had gotten muddy in 200 years, but had a flagstone floor under the
mud.

This room was built just for firewood. It had a sliding 4' door, and
2" split boards for the floor and walls--- There was some real
character in those boards.

We always called it the 'wood shed' -- but somehow, today, it seems
like 'shed' implies a separate building.
