This storage shed - truck garage was built by Ted Lawrence from materials salvaged from dwelling #126 and #102. It was used to garage Mr Lawrence's various vehicles. The shed was also used to store cases of four gallon tins of petrol which was used and sold by Mr Lawrence. There was a small store-room at the north end of the building that was later converted into a workshop. Mr Lawrence sold petrol as part of his business. Initially petrol was sold in four gallon tins. Then a portable bowser with a 40 gallon petrol barrel was mounted on a trolley and wheeled out to a vehicle.
