Both of these buildings are exam-
ples of large clear span industrial
structurzs, as well as being part of a
once booming and bustling shipyard.

- This ‘structure, ‘constructed in
1920, is currently called Store No. 2.
its original use was as shops for car-
penters and joiners plus storage for
joiners. It was tater used as the furni-
ture shop. *....

It is a three-storey gable-roofed,

heavy timbered structure with a cor-

rugated metal roof and siding. The
windows are wooden sash.
, Fortunately Store No. 2 has found
_ new life, and is operating as the Pier
‘96 Flea Market.
