About Storage Building 9
Storage Building 9 is one of 30 Classified Federal Heritage Buildings in Foothills County. Construction of Storage Building 9 is recorded as 1889–1890. 23 neighbours on the registers lie within 400 m.
Storage Building 9, at the Bar U Ranch is a simple, rectangular, one-storey building with a single entrance and very low walls only four to five logs high. The round log construction has dovetail notched corners. It has an exaggerated expanse of steep gabled roof covered with cedar shingles and has a prominent eave overhang. The low walls, the steep squat roof and the close relationship to grade result in a massing that has a whimsical character. The building has one door with a transom above, and one small window to the left of the door. The colour scheme of Storage building 9, (barn red walls and white trim), keeps with the tradition across the Prairies and visually links it to the other buildings on site. The house is believed to have been constructed in the late 1880s as part of the first phase of building of the ranch. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building.
