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. Refer to 16.6 for more historical notes
