A stone and wood building with a moss and lichen covered peaked wood shingle roof with peaked entry covers stands in a forest with no leaves and cloudy sky visible through the trees. The lower half of the building is made of coursed cut stone except where two doorways in the front and one on the near end interrupt the stonework. The roof is held up by regularly spaced wooden beams in between doorways and windows, and the end wall above the doorway is made of horizontal wooden beams with mortat in between. The doors and windows have been removed and replaced with plywood.

A segment made entirely of coursed-cut stone blocks with a peaked roof as described before extends at a right angle from the rear of the building and has one doorway, boarded up with brown-painted plywood. An orange ladder leans against the rear of the building, and leaves cover the ground in the near distance.
