It is believed that this building is a good example of structures that existed in Burren Junction during the 1920's. This building was built in 1903. Other buildings along this street included George Sarquis, Baker's Shop (where brandy snaps sold for one penny), Butcher's Shop owned by Bill Hindes - Later sold to Bill Murphy, Sadler's Shop owned by Mr Pollock, who was also a Bootmaker. Blacksmith's Shop with Charlie Thompson, the proprietor, and of course, Fred Newland and Bill Finlan's wagon camp. Most of these buildings were burnt down in 1923, and this original building still stands.
