A woolshed, probably dating from the early 1860 s, on the Ida Valley station in Otago. The wooden shed has a long, gabled stem. The hammerhead wing at one end has a gambrel roof. Some of the original iron remains. The roof still carries the pyramid tower that once provided space for the screw press. The shed could accommodate 26 stands in the days of blade shearing. This is one of a wide range of farm buildings, from many parts of New Zealand illustrated in “The New Zealand Heritage of Farm Buildings,” by Geoffrey C. Thornton, reviewed today.
