The large wooden workshops, which are two stories in height, together with the timber yard, occupy a freehold of half an acre, adjoining the railway. A great many of the important buildings of Palmerston were erected by the founder of the business, and many large building and bridge contracts in the district surrunding Palmerston, including the suspension bridge over the Shag river at Dunback, was undertaken and completed by him.
