Pockets was built by the wealthy company, Australian Estates of Cooma. In the 1930’s it was a luxury location with hot water and electricity connected to the building.

Pockets underwent a major restoration between 1983 and 1985.

Construction

Weatherboard, four room building measuring about 7.5m square. Lined with fibro internally.

The Chimney is very distinctive with two prominent points of timber and the rest is made of iron with a concrete hearth. This hut was confused with Circuitts on the original KHA website, but the chimneys are completely different. There is an outside toilet.
