Model of a granary, which existed at Frösunda. Described in the Norberg's inventory of 1779 as "Model of a granary, with oven and drying bench, built at Frösunda, close at Stockholm. The shape of the house is similar to an ordinary barn, with it's two floor for grain: but in the middle is, instead of a barn, an oven erected, with it's drying bench ontop, for drying the cleaned grain: and in each of the two floors, are two layers of beams on each other, with rods on them, on which the newly harvested grains are put to dry. The lower beam floor is at the level, that one may thresh thereunder after the ordinary method with flails on wooden floor.". The model is numbered "N:o 128, XVI.E.3.".
