Do you know what the uppermost floor was used for? Was it just an attic/storage space? I wonder what the ceiling height is on that floor? Thank you for this excellent presentation.

You are correct: the attic, which originally had no internal subdivisions, was mainly used for storage functions of agricultural commodities.
Thank you for watching
