1639 pre 1900 The origin of location #107 may be much older than 1900.

The origin of location #107 may be much older than 1900. It appears from later research that the hut is made up of two different dwellings. One hut is constructed of pit-sawn timber and has wallpaper of the Otago Daily Witness dated 16 July 1886. The other hut appears to be made with machined timber. (1900?). The only photos of the dwelling show it as the same size at the back of the section and at the front of the section (location #343). The building is now at the back of the section again (location #496).
