woodyard

Firewood storage facility

A woodyard is a place where wood is stored, cut, or sold—typically firewood or lumber.

Historically, woodyards supplied fuel for homes, steamboats, and railroads: The steamboat stopped at a woodyard to take on fuel.

The term now appears mainly in place names or historical contexts.
