For a brief period both the Hughs (Hide & Tallow Dealers - another Powelton family) & Corrie extended families lived together in this house before the Hughs's own house, also bought from Askin and near Wayne Station, was refurbished. I suspect McIlvain timber was used by Askin but have found no direct evidence yet!Phil Grahamhttp://www.banjotown.netnoreply@blogger.com
