The two-chambered granary stored threshed grain until it was sold or consumed. Its two chambers indicate that the owner could grow two different crops and store them at the same time. Grain was often transported across the Potomac River at Edwards Ferry, the southernmost river crossing in Loudoun County. The C & O Canal on the Maryland side of the river was also commonly used to transport Virginia-grown crops throughout Maryland into Washington, D.C.
