a human-powered mill for grinding grain.
Sections of the Crankmill machinery are in the museum. In the mid-twentieth century, the Crankmill was
used by a whaling company as a boatshed and boiling down works, and the wide opening in the west wall
was made for boats. It was conserved and interpreted as a ruin.

The Settlement Guard House

The lower parts of the walls are thought to date from the First Colonial Settlement 1788-1814, and to have
been incorporated into the single-storey guard house c1826. The building was a guard house until 1841
and later altered to be a boatshed. It was reconstructed in 1977-1979 and is now used by the museum.

Hospital and Surgeon's Quarters

Built for civil officers, these quarters are one of two prefabricated timber buildings sent from Sydney
c1827. Off-cuts of the dressed timber mouldings, wood shavings and casuarina shingles found under the
floor are held in the archaeological collection. It was used as a residence after 1856 and is now occupied
by the Lions Club. Substantial remains of the stone walls of the Civil (or Convict) Hospital are east of the
quarters. Excavations revealed artefacts related to the hospital, now held in the museum. There is an
informal collection of artefacts in the Surgeon's Kitchen—a stone two-room cottage with a timber shingle
roof.

Royal Engineer's Office and Stables

The Royal Engineer's Office was built from 1848 with a hall and two front rooms. The portico and
additional rooms were soon added, as well as a stables block. The building is stone with a timber-shingled
gabled roof and a formal stone portico with columns and pediment. The front rooms have elaborate
chimney pieces and evidence of internal window shutters. In c1897, internal modifications included lining
boards. It has been used by the museum, including previous use as a café. The stables block was
unroofed by 1892 and was, much later, reconstructed as a toilet block.

Quarters for the Lower Ranks

Archaeological deposits remain of quarters built in a line along the foreshore, east of the Blacksmith's
compound and others west of the Crankmill. One building remains of a row of six semi-detached cottages
built in 1850-1853. Each had two rooms, a privy and a detached kitchen. The remaining cottage is now
the restoration office and known as Munna's.

J Beachfront (Slaughter and Emily Bays)

At Emily Bay there has been a range of bathing houses, and at one stage a Beach Master's house. In the
1920s, the ship the Resolution was built and launched in Emily Bay. Remains may exist but
