Appraisal
This corrugated-iron shed is an excellent example of the vernacular tradition in the area. The building, which is locally known as The Fog, was used as a dance hall and may have been a purpose-built corrugated iron dance hall. The irregular fenestration and simple unadorned lines of the building contribute to its unique historic character.
