JARRAH WOOD BOX
Rectangular jarrah box. The base consists of two pieces of wood with rounded edges, which protrude from the base. The two vertical ends are rebated into the sides. All the corners are reinforced with two metal brackets on the outside, one near the top, one near the bottom. The box does not have a lid.
The box was originally used to store wood for the school room fireplace in the early to mid 1900s. The school gardener was paid to cut the kindling to start the fire, the wood was provided by a government contractor. After the heating was converted to gas, the box was used to store sports equipment until 1983. The box was then given to David Lindrup by Mr Gerry Droppert, who was the school principal at the time, as a gift when he left the school (due to it being closed and moved) in 1983. He used it to store wood at his home until he donated the item to History House Museum.
