Description: 

A "cotton house" is a small outbuilding in a field, where picked cotton can be stored before it goes to the gin. It is typically empty except during the fall cotton harvest. Joe might have spent a night inside one during his flight; in any case it is "right by" the cotton house that he exchanges shoes a "negro woman" (329).
