Notes

This building was built by the mercantile firm of Bryan and Sons and it was used as an oil store. The firm was later purchased by Earle and Company of Fogo and the building continued as an oil store until the business closed in the 1960s. It was purchased by Louis Burke and launched to its current location on the Burke family property. It is used to store nets, trawls and for other general purposes. This is the last remaining building from the original firm owned by Patrick Bryan and Sons of Tilting.
