Well it certainly is really a mess there now but it was a very neat white building, stucco, dad had it stuccoed and painted. It was a neat building with white and green windows on it and so forth and back in the 40's it would be a neat looking dairy it looked like dairy factory uh the porch on it where you drive a team of horses on it or whatever would take the milk up the ramp because we didn't have pumps in those days well we did have them but in those early days they wouldn't have hydro I think back in the 1900's so the milk had to flow by gravity downhill from putting it in the container and we checked it for butterfat that was one of my jobs I brought the milk in also I had to grade it, had to smell each can and make sure it was the milk was fit to be used. And uh so the milk had to flow downhill into the vat so it uh there aren't many buildings that would look like it nowadays. It was kind of a long building with this porch would be the distinctive part of it where kind of a ramp where you would drive up to unload the milk.
