It was a little rustic but airy, free parking and masks weren't required.

No masks? My kind of place.

It looks like the old Corn Crib on my Grandparent's farm. The gaps in the logs were not sealed like a cabin to live in so air would circulate and dry the corn when it was harvested. But it had a major overhang of the roof to protect from rain. It was elevated with metal guards on the piles to make it hard for rats and mice to get in. There also was one larger gap up about 3-4'* by the door for the farm cats to get in in case some mice and rats did make it in.

*Hopefully no Olympic class high jumpers among the rats and mice but the cats could do it with ease.

Breathing air!

I looked around, no roofs. I think the man next door shoveled snow with a little extra exuberance as we had a dusting of snow even with the star shine all night. When a breeze came up the place whistled like the tabernacle choir.

Your description makes the bin a piece of art. We're not in corn country so that's something unseen by my eyes but now I have the visualization. I had a three legged barn cat, he sacrificed one to a coyote and he still could have cleared your wall!
We should have given more consideration to the Olympic rats. I don't think I'll get my bride back to the rental now that that possibility is squirming around her cranium.

The farm had been in Grandma's family since 1791. I think that corn crib was first built right after the Civil War. Some of the beams in the house were recut and recycled from the original cabins, same for the stock barn - main framing was 6x6 beams cut by hand with axe and adz. Grandma sold the farm and moved into town while I was in the Army in the 60's. The agri-business buyer tore down the tobacco barn, stock barn, hog shed, tool shed/garage, chicken houses, smoke house, coal shed and the corn crib*. They also made major changes in the farm house but it is still recognizable (Google Maps and Street View let me see it now.). They put up a couple of steel prefabs and those round steel grain storage things. They also enlarged the stock pond about 4x, almost a small lake now, with floating pier and I suspect they stocked it with fish. Granddad kept fish out of it because he stocked it with "Shiner minnows" - fish bait, the whole family liked to fish. And he encouraged bull frogs, he liked the sound in the night and they ate the mosquitoes.

*They probably sold the old beams and heavy boards, they were mostly oak, hickory, southern cypress and other hard long lasting woods. Architects and designers were paying good money for that old high end wood to use in "rustic" homes etc.

I love to photograph old vehicles like that - so much character and always photogenic

For sure. I have an album called old cars and rusted iron.
