The places represents a method of construction and is
representative of a type of building during the 1920s and 1930s in Kulin.
Bush timber posts form the main structure of the shed which has a gable roof. Two
central rows of posts run parallel to the apex of the shed roof. The roof and some sides of the shed
are clad with sheets of corrugated iron.
Bill Burke built many of these sheds. Using bush timber and
readily available timber he constructed sturdy sheds throughout the district. He was also a gun
shearer and did fencing work during the 1920s and 1930s.
