Description

PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.

Completed in 1843, this building served as a quartermaster’s store and office for the collector and superintendent. Plans for building a blockhouse and its walls over one meter thick suggests that this building also played a military defence role.

The quartermaster’s store / toll collector’s house (1843). Interpretive plaques and seasonal exhibits in the Collector’s House help explain the history of this fascinating site.
