DAYBORO'S weekly historic story's news & what's on
Terrors Creek Township 1905 (ca) – Renamed Dayboro in 1917
This photograph has been dated 1906 in the Moreton Library Collection but Dayboro District Historical Society believe that it is 1905 (ca), 120 years ago. The reason for this is it is believed the Silverwood Store was opened in 1906 and the store is not in this photograph. The buildings in this photograph are:• On the left bank of Terrors Creek is the Creamery built in 1896, the oldest building in the town. This building more than doubled in size over the years becoming the butter factory office. After the Silverwood store was opened the creamery building became the “barracks” for some of the store staff. It is now occupied by Silverwood Café. • The large complex behind the creamery is the Silverwood Butter Factory opened on 14th September 1903. It was partially destroyed by fire in 1929.• The next building on the left is Riek Bros. store built about 1900. This is now the site of the refurbished Dayboro Meeting Hub.• The house next to the store was built abt. 1903 as a residence for Christopher Riek, one the Riek Bros. The builder was Hans Rohlf. It is now attached to the Post Office which was not built until 1936. • The complex on the right hand side of the road is the Terrors Creek Sawmill.In 1900 the sawmill changed ownership and the new owner built three sawmill workmen’s cottages. “Dayboro Cottage”, home of Dayboro Information centre, is the middle one of the cottages, the oldest residence in town still on its original site.• The buildings in the centre of the photograph are the original Crown Hotel and attached store. The provisional licence for the Crown Hotel was granted on 6th July 1892.• The building to the right of the hotel is Skerman Bros. blacksmith.
