The frame includes a frame member forming part of an upper portion of the one outer wall. The frame member has a top edge adjacent the roof and a bottom edge. A wall panel is secured to the frame adjacent the bottom edge of the frame member, such that the panel forms the lower portion of the one outer wall. The structure also includes at least one spacer member supported on the top edge of the frame member. The spacer member has a side surface that forms the upper portion of the frame and a top surface at an acute angle with respect to the side surface that supports a roof member to provide the lower border of the roof. The building structure also includes a shelf member positioned between the top edge of the frame member and the bottom surface of the at least one spacer member.
