Lehmhaus) – dawny budynek gospodarczy, drewniany lub murowany, jedno- lub dwukondygnacyjny (z jedną izbą na każdej kondygnacji), czasami z podcieniem lub gankami, często o ozdobnych formach architektonicznych. Lamus w Polsce wchodził początkowo w skład zabudowań dworskich i przeznaczony do przechowywania cennych przedmiotów (np. dokumentów, zbroi). Z czasem stawiano go też w gospodarstwach chłopskich, niedaleko chaty, gdzie służył do przechowywania sprzętu gospodarczego, narzędzi, zboża, żywności. - https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamus -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2018-08-16 09:50:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The New England Farmhouse Ell: Fact and Symbol of Nineteenth-Century Farm Improvement - https://www.jstor.org/stable/3514327?seq=1#page_scan_tab_con... ------------ At Keldur numerous outhouses have been preserved along with the old farmhouses.
