description

Summary

Constructed between 1890 and 1910, the history of the feed shed is a good illustration of how working ranches evolved over time as buildings and materials were recycled, adapted and reused. The shed initially served as the Officer Homestead cellar and was located west of the current Cant house. It was moved during the Cant sheep ranching era to the north side of the log cabin and used for storage. In the cattle ranching era it was moved to its present location and used as a feed shed. The building was restored as a feed storage shed by the NPS to interpret the history of the Cant Ranch.
