granary

Christiania seems to have a long tradition of slightly odd architecture, including things built outward like this one. This was in my contacts' photos just last week: www.flickr.com/photos/dgbalancesrocks/3179720688/

A "stabbur" is a small building made for storage of food. I believe the "outward" style has something to do with keeping mice and rats out of the building.

I would guess that this "stabbur" is located in an outdoor museum located at Bygdøy in Oslo called Norsk Folkemuseum (Norwegian folk museum). Christiania is an old name of Norways capital Oslo. The museum have, among other things, a collection of old norwegian buildings, and it was founded in 1894. Lú: The Christiania in the picture you are linking to is in Denmark. It's a part of Copenhagen.

Oh well! Carry on :)

This is indeed at the Folkemuseum. I feel a huge urge go there immediately and get a "now" shot from this angle!

Interesante :]

Reminds me of a cuckoo clock!

On the OSI 25" there are two large blocks of buidlings listed as granaries facing on to the waterfront just downstream of the ferry crossing. Clear view of any boats coming upstream from Queenstown (Cobh) and control of the east side of the ferry crossing and plenty of space to billet troops. Modern day view on earth view show apartment block and carpark. If this is the place Morning Mary it is for the NLS folder.

In the NLI Fergus O'Conor collection There is a photo on page 5 Title Passage West -taken from a distance. It shows these granaries Like OSI 25" link. I cannot get it to link to that photo it wants to copy whole file.
