Document for the purchase of the station-master's house by Hannah Hobbs, in 1949.

It's 1949 and Hannah and George Hobbs feel like moving house. But they also feel like taking their old station master's cottage with them, so they do, piece by piece.
Left over from the days of the Ballina railway, the house was originally built near Saunders Oval and now stands in Tamar St, Ballina.
