It might appear that the occupant of the two room house in figure 30 desired to update his dwelling to have contemporary characteristics similar to those of the bungalow. The remaining half porch was similar to those of many of the bungalow houses. The currently popular double window was used in lieu of the usual single opening. And the rear extension created the multiple room depth characteristic of the bungalow. [Illustration: _Fig. 30. A 1930 house with bungalow features (Bldg. 143)._] OUTBUILDINGS As was the case with the small farms west of the river, so the plantations and farms east of the river required outbuildings. Several examples of these outbuildings are represented. On this page are shown transverse crib barns; the major openings occur on the end elevations. In figure 31 the typical transverse crib barn plan is evident with the center aisle being flanked by several cribs as shelter for stock. Above the opening is a loft for hay storage. This drawing is also descriptive of the landscape of the delta plantation—broad level expanses of open land in cultivation. Twentieth century communication systems are evident with the dirt road and telephone poles. [Illustration: _Fig. 31. Transverse crib barn in a delta landscape (Bldg. 140)._] In figures 32 and 33 variations of the transverse barn are illustrated. A barn with side shed additions, vertical plank siding and loft storage would have sheltered a wagon in the center aisle (figure 32). A unique solution to the high water problem is evident in the barn shown in figure 33. The structure is raised and provides vehicle and stock shelter in dry seasons, but any valuable equipment could be removed as spring overflows inundated the land. [Illustration: _Fig. 32. Vertical planks on transverse crib barn (Bldg. 93)._] [Illustration: _Fig. 33. A barn raised for high water protection (Bldg. 112)._] [Illustration: _Fig. 34. Circa 1900 log storage building (Bldg. 128)._] [Illustration: _Fig. 35. Half dovetail notches on 1900 log building (Bldg. 128)._] A LOG OUTBUILDING Log construction of outbuildings directly on the ground was not a common model of construction in the delta land. The obvious reason was that frequent overflows would tend to produce rapid decay of the wood members in contact with the soil. But a rare exception to this practice was found in the building illustrated in figures 34 and 35. The relatively tall log storage building has continuous timbers as cantilever supports for side shed roofs. Whether these sheds ever had vertical post supports was not obvious on site inspection. The corner wall detail, figure 35, indicates that the large hewn timbers were assembled using half-dovetail notches. The horizontal logs were so closely cut that a minimum air space between logs remained. Chinking material was not used to fill these spaces. COMMUNITY BUILDINGS ON THE PLANTATION
