This house was built in 1879 on a former sawmill site. Underneath the patio there were holes where they used to saw the logs, but these have since been filled in. In 1904 Elizabeth Mayo and her family moved in. They had 14 children and the boys lived out in a two roomed cabin. The Mayo's had a carrying business and on the site there was a cart shed.
