J. R. W. Taylor's Accommodation House in Feilding around 1875-1880. When the first party of immigrants arrived at the Manchester Block in 1874, no preparation had been made for their arrival. Instead of being allowed to erect homes for their families, the men were put to work to build a storehouse. When the women and children arrived, this storehouse was the only structure in Feilding. Led by J. D. Belk, the settlers commandeered the store for family accommodation.
