    The building was built by the Gage family in the mid-1700s, it was used as a warehouse for the seaweed. There was also a person here to keep the accounts and operate the scales. The house was also used to store grain and other agricultural products. Trade was mainly with Scotland and the seaweed was exchanged for coal as fuel was scarce on the island. The building later became a music, dance and theater venue and therefore remains a special place on the island. The building has been rebuilt again and again over the past 200 years, the traces can be seen.
