Roman Granary - 2 floors

A replica of a Roman Granary (Horreum) at a Hadrians Wall fort.

SI Compatible.

Granaries were built on raised stilts with cavities below to allow air to circulate through and help prevent the grains stored within from spoiling. Flooring can be removed to allow access to this cavity for maintenance or just looking around. (reference photo in screenshots).

Normally granaries were a single floor large open space with supporting pillars however I deicided to try adding a second level for additional storage. A single floor version is now available here:

Longest part of the build (nearly 3 hours) was the woodworking as had to be measured to fit as close as possible and to create the roof supports correctly. Supports continue down into foundations..

Unfortunately the main image the exterior was based on is copyrighted so can't add here however it can be found by searching google images for "Batina Roman granary".

Little interior decoration apart from a few torches and a handful of barrels on second floor to see how they looked as no Large Vase or Amphora blocks available (at some point hopefully will be!). Will update further at that point.

Model could also be used as a general Roman style warehouse (cavity is not noticable unless flooring is removed or not sunk into ground as in note below)

Comments and feedback welcome. As always hope you enjoy :)

Note:
Building is 16 long by 8 wide (allowing for foundations). Designed to be sunk 3/4 a level into ground (this will leave a foundation 1 level below the cavity also). Recommend digging out an area before placing otherwise interior cavity will be filled with terrain.
