Rustic building's other half has right chopping block (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

dutch barn

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'right chopping block' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'rustic building's other half' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'half' could be 'dutch' (I have seen 'Better half' mean 'dutch' so perhaps 'half' could also mean 'dutch') and 'dutch' is located in the answer.
'building' could be 'barn' (barn is a kind of building) and 'barn' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'has' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
