104 Commodity Warehouse

Commodity warehouses are light commercial utility buildings that are generally of lighter construction than typical warehouse buildings.  They are typically used for the bulk storage of agricultural products such as baled cotton, etc.  Walls are either block or some type of metal or wood over the frame.  Roof systems are either steel or wood, and the floors are concrete.

Small office areas with heating can be found at the better qualities.
