In 1924 Captain James Dun-Waters decided to provide a home for his prize herd of Registered Ayrshire Dairy cattle and he hired J. Honeyman a Vancouver Architect to design and build it. The building is forty (40) feet high. The Silo (fifteen (15) feet in diameter) is 176.6 square feet so the main floor is about 2900 square feet. There are 15 stalls with metal stanchions on one side, complete with automatic watering cups (there was a water pressure system piped in) and feeding managers. There are three pens on the other side. A manure handling system both for solids (a manure bucket and track system) and for liquids (a drainage system complete with holding pit outside the building). The second floor is 1537 square feet (including the silo) made up of three rooms for holding different bagged grains. The silo was used for holding chopped hay not silage. All the buildings are in very good shape. |
