If you click on it and enlarge it, you'll see that the sign above the door says COAL SHED ... even though there is wood inside. Both wood and coal were ways of heating the house, once upon a time. The woodshed was once known as the place misbehaving children were taken to be disciplined by spanking. So maybe THAT was what Aunt Ada Doom saw. Maybe she thought spanking a child was a nasty thing to do to the poor kid."

That was cool that you revised the photo to be that of a woodshed after my earlier error.
Although not a proponent of corporal punishment, that possibility of woodshed nastiness was much tamer than what I envisioned.
Gotta remember, the Starkadders are, to say the least, a bit weird ... lol.
