History

These Single Men’s Huts are some of the earliest building in the
Pemberton Mill Complex, probably dating back to 1913-14 when the Big
Brook (Pemberton) Mill was first built. The mill was erected in 1913 on
Reserve 16354, held by the State Saw Mills on a 999 year lease. They
had a contract to supply sleepers and timber for the Transcontinental
railway. Over the next ten years there was intensive building activity as a
number of Mill Workers Cottages were built to accommodate workers
and their families employed at the mill.
There are only a few huts remaining, and in 2004 they are still being
used.
For a more detailed history of the Pemberton Mill and the Mill Workers
Cottages Precinct refer to the documentation on both those places.
