The storehouse, as well the farmhouse, is from Odensvallahult’s
manor. Both buildings are from the same period. On the east side of the
storehouse was a larder where the farm's food was kept. Underneath was a
masonry basement. The other entrance leads to a workshop for different
craftsmen, such as carpenter, cooper and blacksmith. Previously the forge was
situated at Vasabro. The farrier's
tools came from the blacksmith master Bernt Olsson in
Möllekulla. Upstairs there are bins for grain. On the
east side is an extension where you find a hot bulb engine. It is a Samson
crude oil engine made at Storebro Bruks
AB, probably around 1930. The serial number is 2911 and it provides 25
horsepower. The hot bulb engine operates a crushing plant, as well as a
screening plant. The crusher is manufactured by Åbjörn
Anderssons Mekaniska Verkstad AB (“Åbjörn Andersson’s Mechanical Engineering Ltd”) in Svedala. In 1916 Åbjörn Anderssons Mekaniska Verkstad AB changed company name to AB Åbjörn
Andersson. The crusher is marked "Åbjörn Andersson’s
M V AB", which means that the crusher was manufactured before 1916.
The screening plant has no sign or inscription. Probably the screening plant is
from the same era as the crusher. It is manufactured at Åbjörn
Anderssons Mekaniska Verkstad AB as well. The crusher and the screening plant
are donated by Tingsryds Lastbilscentral
