During the depression of the 1930s, New Zealand introduced a subsidized gold system to combat unemployment. Hundreds of men, many with no mining experience, repopulated the country's goldfields, receiving a small weekly allowance and giving away a portion of the gold they mined.

This hut dates from that era.
