Notes
Built in 1964 & originally located at South Arm & called 'South Arm Hut' (see seperate entry). It was then relocated to a different location on Borland Rd for use by transmission line workers during the Electricity Corporation NZ days. 2006 saw it rebuilt & relocated to its current site, with the T & G floor replaced by plywood. The framing consists of Dexion slotted-angle lengths of steel & the interior features original graffiti drawn on the building foil from the transmission line workers’ era. It once had a small wood burner in the right back corner, which has been removed. Edit Hut
