Description and history
This round vernacular structure is 10 feet (3.0 m) in diameter and 10 feet (3.0 m) high. It has a cement roof and two steel beams traverse the entire structure extending beyond the walls. Built by an unknown stonemason on an experimental/demonstration farm, the building was used to hang slaughtered animals. It is one of a group of industrial lava rock structures in the region demonstrating ingenuity and resourcefulness in using locally available building material. The design and materials functioned to provide a cool protected site for the storage of carcasses.[3]
