"The dairy house is a small rectangular stone building with a wood gable roof and central ventilating cupola. When it was built in 1874, it was described as "a stone dairyhouse ... 19' x 21', with 10" walls and 10' in the clear" (Redwood City Democrat 1874). Its location near a creek, its thick stone walls for insulation, its cupola with louvered vents, and its few openings (one door and one small window) are consistent with its use as a place intended to keep perishable dairy products cool."
