Close to the spot where çPaddy Hannan made his find and almost opposite çthe original Hannan's Reward. The building has a very narrow street frontage çand is two storeys tall. It is built of brick çwith corrugated iron roof. The original bar, çliving quarters and six upstairs guest roms are çnow converted for museum displays.
