Storeroom Paltin, Vrancea county, second half of the 19th century
The villager Ioniță Bucur’s pantry from Paltin, a household annex often found in the settlements from Vrancea, is dated from second half of the 19th century and was transferred in the museum in 1956
Built on a mountain and river stone base without any binder, and including also the buried cellar, the storeroom is adapted to the hilly terrain. The walls are made of horizontal garlands of round beams, covered with a thin layer of clay. It has a roof with a covering made of shingles finished in “duckbill” shape and fixed with yew nails (the only item in the museum that exemplifies this technique). The storeroom is made of a single room without windows, with side access, and a porch on the main front, placed in console above the cellar. The access in the porch is on a mobile ladder, located near the entrance to the pantry.
Noticeable are the geometrical decorative elements fretted on the porch parapet and the ones carved on the rafters ends.
The building is unique in the museum patrimony.
