List of structures

A column is a tall, straight pillar that is typically made of stone used to support a building or other heavy structure.

A coop is a cage, generally in the ground, for keeping animals like chickens inside.
To coop up means to keep someone in a small space, for example "my apartment is so small I'm all cooped up in there".

A crosswalk is a marked place where people can safely cross a road. It helps drivers know where to expect people on the road.

Crosswalks are usually found near schools, parks, and busy streets. They may have white lines on the ground, signs, or traffic lights. Some crosswalks have buttons for pedestrians to change the light to stop cars.

A cubby house or wendy house is a small building for children to play in. They are usually built in people's backyards out of wood.

A datestone is a stone with a date carved into it. You might see datestones on old buildings, graves, or monuments. They help tell the year or date for a house, a special event, or a person's life.

A dike is an embankment or a dam made of stone or earth to stop water flow from a watercourse such as a river.

A door is a way of closing off the entrance to something else, like the entrance to a house or room. Doors can be made of wood, steel or glass. You can lock some doors so that no-one can go through them.

A fence is a structure that people make. Fences are usually there to keep something on one side of the fence from getting to the other side, or just to mark a boundary. The horse in the picture is being kept in her paddock by the fence. Fences can be any height. In cities they are usually quite high, and on farms they are usually just high enough so whatever animal is being kept cannot jump over it.

A floor is the part of a building that you walk on. Floors can be made from wood or concrete and might have rugs or carpet on top of them.

A fort is a military structure used for defense against an enemy. Forts are usually large stone buildings surrounded by water or walls.
