[MassHistPres] What are they?

[Dennis De Witt]

Below are photos of unidentified stone “frames” —  for lack of a better term.  (Possibly soapstone?)  They are in a N.H. barn that was owned 100+ years ago by a man who did slate roofing and sheet metal work.

We are hoping someone can identify their purpose.

BTW there is also some roofing slate of that era.

The barn is being cleaned out
