This interesting building, with very unique architecture belonged to Fred Taylor. Fred was an Aboriginal man who grew up in Newcastle Waters and was a skilled draftsman, builder and skilled artist, building and designing buildings throughout the Elliott District. He built this one roomed galvanised iron hut from a modified Sidney Williams Hut. The elevation and design of the building’s splayed ‘skirts’ allows a cooling updraft in summer. The building is located on Lot 9 of the Newcastle Waters Township and Fred is buried behind this home that he lived in with his wife Isabelle.
