FINGER BARN - Physical Description 1
This large timber barn building was previously located on Henry Finger's property, and dates from 1870. It was relocated c1974.
Henry Finger was one of the orchardists who pioneered the commercial production of stone and pome fruits in the district.
This is one of the largest barns known to remain from the orchard period, and may be the earliest remaining. Its significance is reduced by its relocation, however it is still an important building.
