The Hut - Physical Description 1
The Hut is located close to the school buildings of the Mt Evelyn Christian School. It has two internal rooms and a smaller "room" or store with an external door only under a skillion roof. It is a timber-framed building, using sawn timbers, some of which appear to be recent replacements. It is clad in corrugated iron, with older sheets (often with a "whitewash" coating internally and externally) remaining on the walls. The roof appears to be new. Brand names are visible on some of the older iron sheets; Lysaght ORB Galvanised Tinned and Lysaght Guinea (with an image of St George and the dragon. Internally, some newspaper lining also survives. The chimney is made of flat sheet iron. A corrugated iron water tank remains at one end of the building.
Known changes to the building are recorded in a booklet on The Hut. These include replacement of a decayed wooden floor in the smaller of the two rooms with second-hand coach house bricks; replacement of the roof (including perhaps some of the roof framing); replacement of the door, verandah posts and window frames. The stone floor that partly survives in the main room is thought to be original. (McIntosh 1996:8) No outbuildings or other features survive.The Hut - Physical Conditions
