Beautiful? It's all a question of luck. I was born with good legs. As for the rest... beautiful, no. Amusing, yes. (Josephine Baker)

Pillar Granary - part of the Farm Village at Brickendon Estate, Longford (Tasmania)

 

Built to store grain, flour and other perishables, this is the only building of its kind in the southern hemisphere. It was constructed on ‘staddle stones’ to keep vermin and water out, and to circulate air, preventing mould in the stored products. This particular form of construction, a timber framed building mounted on stones, is characteristic of southern England, the original home of the Archers and many of the convicts who laboured here.
