STONE RUIN - History
This ruinous structure, probably a former house or hotel, is located on land that was granted to an H. Heard in February 1864. He may have been on the site at an earlier date and appears to have owned it for many years as his name is remembered in connection with the property by older residents of Campbells Creek. A later owner may have been Eileen Tognolini.STONE RUIN - Interpretation of Site
