Hello. I'm looking at a house that has a chunk of land with it that look like an old market or kitchen garden. In the garden is a tall brick building probably 3m x 3m by about 3m tall. It's very hard to seethe design of the outside because it's nestled in a tree and covered with ivy. It looks like it's designed to induce a good flow of natural ventilation. Inside the are wooden trays that look like either fruit or vegetable ripening or storage racks. I'd say it's Victorian or Edwardian.

Any ideas what this would have been called in the old days or any links to something similar? Just trying to understand what it was and what I could use it for in the future.
