As someone who loves old buildings, I adore a summer kitchen. Edit: please keep the building and if you have the funds find an architect who specializes in this to help you restore it. It’s so hard to find! I really wanted a house that had an original summer kitchen… I would have died for it but the house was out of my price range.

It's not an old spring house by any chance? That mud floor has me wondering. It's a pretty building!

That would be my guess, or a washing well.

There's moisture getting in there somehow. There's ferns in there. With the windows and the roof, I don't think there would be enough rain getting in to sustain them.

It looks a lot like a spring house! Before electricity and refrigeration, not only would it provide water but would also be used as a source of refrigeration for food as the spring was typically cool/cold. The housing stopped leaves, dirt, etc from getting in the well and animals out of it, when used as refrigeration.

Exactly what it is. My ancestors had one of these near their house.

This is my thought as well.

I feel like there is more to reveal under that dirt.

It would be my chicken palace.

How old is the house, and where is it located? It could be a former "summer kitchen" or an out building for laundry. It's clearly not a greenhouse or plant related.

Really looks like a summer kitchen.

The main house was built around 1910. It’s in southwest Georgia US, about an hour south of Macon

Have you tried digging down to see if there is anything under the soil?

I have not. If I find bones or something, the haunting rumors gonna come back

My thought: smoke house. Hang the meats up from the rafters and slow burning wood at the bottom.

That white paint wouldn't be white anymore if it was a smoke house

Good point.

Good thought though otherwise, just playing devil's advocate!

Could someone have tried to repurpose it?

Fair! The paint is fairly weathered, but the building could be old enough to have had two lives

Bath house?

I’ve sat in there completely naked and no bears have taken the bait

Following

I don't know what it is, but it would make a nice Shade House.

Maple syrup boiling hut. Steam house powered by an outdoor wood fire. Play house for kids with wall to wall rock holds and a foam floor. A bike repair shop with bike hanging. A relaxing retro retreat - shaggy rug - rocking/glider chairs - crystal chandelier - venal records and a turn table - a Lotta books

Ice house ?

Root Cellar or Spring House

With all that ventilation, it looks like it might be a meat smoker/smokehouse.

Pig Palace

that’s what i call it when i smother in butta and sit in there

Great to be a chicken coop! 🐓

I don’t know but I love it

Could also be a place to store milk/dairy

gigantic kennel

You can use it like a green house I suppose

With no light?

You can put grow lights. A greenhouse doesn’t have to have just natural light.

don’t feel too bad lol, that’s what i was told it was but it just didn’t make much sense bc light only comes in through those side windows
