A companion to the creek house is another utilitarian construction-the crib house-used for storing corn for the livestock.  The crib house was constructed on stilts to deter the rodents and so designed that the wagons could be driven in under the cover and out of the elements for unloading.  In this painting is a fox squirrel, perched on the rail, ready to scurry to his bed in the tree behind the shed.
