This
building is one of two buildings occupied by the C. J. Young Iron Works on this parcel during the 1930s and 1940s. It has
retained a good degree of integrity. It was built in 1941, but remodeled in
1942. It adjoins an older and more altered heavy timber shed building, built
about 1912, also used by the C. J. Young Iron Works during the 1930s and 1940s.
