Rochester Dry House

Rochester, Michigan · Oakland County · Historic Places

Workers pose on the framing of a dry house at the D. M. Ferry Farm in Rochester in a photograph dated 1914. The short episode calls attention to the timber structure and the hoist used to move loads through the building.

The building and its lifting equipment record the work of moving and storing farm goods. The episode focuses on this dry-house construction scene rather than Rochester’s broader mill and railway history.
