Storehouse No. 5, a small warehouse, stands east of the East Ell and is connected to the East Ell by a bridge. [The terms warehouse and storehouse are synonyms; the traditional term for the warehouses in the District was storehouse, and the two words are used interchangeably here.] It is one story with an attic and basement, and it has a stone foundation, brick walls, and a shallow-pitched roof. The window openings have arched tops, and most of the openings are blocked in. The north façade has been painted a dark blue, but the south and west sides are unpainted brick. There are no posts inside; a stairway to the attic runs along the east wall. The date of the extant bridge is unknown. The storehouses originally would have been used to stockpile flax. The building is currently unoccupied. Future plans call for converting it to housing.
