This building was on the large north lot as you turn down onto the main street into Woodburn.  For many years in the early days, a blacksmith shop was located here.  In 1911, F.M. Keeney built the large seed house.

The seed house? Was that on the corner across from Harry and Marilyn Clark? If so my dad stored his Pioneer Seed Corn there until we built a big enough Morton building on the farm that we didn't need to go to Woodburn to meet customers... Thats would have been hmmmm late sixties to very early seventies??
