Hill End's first Police office, 1872-1874 and then as the towns second Telegraph office, 1874 - Mid 1880's.
It is now owned by the National Parks & Wildlife Service & a newspaper article I found from 2015 said that at that time, it was being leased out to tenants who lived in the cottage. Just not sure if it is still inhabited or not - it didn't appear to be, but I guess it is possible that someone was living there.
