I suppose it is a matter of how you think of it.  In rural Louisiana, we
certainly would not think of the smoke house as the smoke building,  the
well house as the well building,  or the car house as the car building.
These were structures on my family farm adjacent to the house.  Nearby, was
THE outhouse.

Other structures were the corn crib which also housed the wagon and
sheltered the two mules, the barn that sheltered the cows and the cotton
house that kept the picked crop until it was transported to the gin. These
were all across the road.
