Думаю, двроник (место для хранения дров) это wood shed

Можно еще добавить winter wood shed

Спасибо за Ваш комментарий, наверно, лучше будет "majestic ruins", так, во всяком случае, чаще всего встречается в инете. К сожалению не увидел всех Ваших комментариев - Outlook не отображает русский. Чем эта работа http://www.album-gallery.ru/index.php?p=239&pic=2 похожа на советскую провинцию мне тоже не понятно

after the fashion of the Roman or Soviet provinces - out of chunks of wood from his own dacha
There is a sense of humour behind this description of the artist's work so I've chosen 'after the fashion of', a stock phrase in art jargon, as a kind of parody of art-criticism. I also chose 'chunks', rather than 'remnants' or 'splinters' because it adds to the wry tone.

not Roman, not Soviet - with pieces of his own dacha
или with pieces of wood from his own house.
out of или from тоже можно, но звучит хуже

nether Roman nor Soviet Province, from the woodchips of his vacation home
дача = vacation home, in US most of the time called Beach House (but it has to be by the water)
Сохранить силу фразы я бы перевел только так ;-)
agree with out of или from тоже можно
don't like word Dacha - this is not my favorite word. Everyone knows Dacha = home, but I would say it's your second home or vacation house, or your forest house, etc.

a fragment of some Roman or of some Russian province with just chunks of wood from his dacha
Looks better to me...
