Reconstructing the Peyton Randolph Dairy Reconstruction, page 3

Dairy


The Dairy represents the most refined of the first three outbuildings.	The diary's latticework provides cross-ventilation. This helps to cool the dairy slightly and allows steam from the warm milk to escape.

Milk pans rest on shelves along the Dairy's walls. Also note the plaster lath. Plastering the diary will help to keep it clean.	The blacksmiths at Colonial Williamsburg fashioned all of the nails and hinges used in the construction of the outbuildings.
