Originally a wooden hut, built c1812 and set back from the street, this was rebuilt as a stone cottage with a shingled roof c1817, possibly by Daniel King, and is one of the oldest buildings on the Big Dig site. The wooden hut was used as a rear wing to the cottage until it was demolished after the 1820s. A new and smaller rear wing had been built by the 1850s. The shingled roof was replaced with iron between 1880 and 1882. It was demolished in the 1900s.
