In 1870, this building was used as the warehouse in Petrolia for the Canadian Central Railway. It was donated to Petrolia Discovery by Charles Fairbank Jr. and moved to the site in the fall of 1992. The woodworking machinery inside dates back to the turn of the century. All of the machinery is in working order. An electrical three-horsepower motor, provides power for the equipment by a system of belts, pulleys and a line shaft.
