As Richard said, Loafing Shed, or also could be called a Pole Barn or Pole Shed (Pole Building). This is according to my Sutherland's Catalog.

In front of the building there will be a 40 foot asphalt apron which will extend 7 feet into the shed. The remaining 68 feet of the floor in the shed will be gravel.

For what it's worth, the plans went to the city yesterday afternoon with the structure labeled as a shed. Thanks for the input. As this is not my first post on nomenclature, I'm sure it's obvious that I like to be precise in my structure identification.

I understand your position.

Remembering the first still I came upon during work. It was tucked nicely in the side of a hollar.

Was surveying a cross country electric transmission line thru Marion Co, Tx and at the edge of the existing structures was an embankment with an apparent shed down below. The people there said they sure hoped we were not going to notice them. I knew a few faces and they simply said just don't tell anyone.

I let them know that I wasn't their worry and that soon there was going to be dozers coming thru and their hideaway was going to be discovered.

On the R/W maps I noted the shed as a corn processing shed.

By the time the construction crew hit the area, it was all gone......
