ARMSTRONG NO.1 - Interpretation of Site
Heritage Inventory Interpretation: The hand made bricks , which are probably locally made as they contain much quartz, and the location next to the property boundary suggest that this is a very early structure. It may have been an early store or hotel or house. The structure possibly dates to the gold rushes, c 1850s - 1860s.
