Ten footer

A ten footer was a small backyard shop structure built in the 18th and 19th centuries in New England to serve as a shoemaker's shop. The name came from the fact that it was usually convert|10|ft|m by convert|10|ft|m in area. The ten footers were forerunners of the large shoe factories that developed in New England later in the 19th century.
