Space 1 Seymour Hughes owned it with a frame rental unit. George Morgan ran the Opposition Meat Market from 1860 to 1861, then sold to I. & J. Ripperdan. They operated the market through 1863
Space 2 S. R. Clarke had a rental unit. In 1860, James Wilson had a shoe shop in the structure, sharing space with Truelson's jewelry shop. Wilson moved to the brick building. The lot was sold to miners and mined out
