Historical information

The land (with improvements) was sold for £650. Henry Franks had purchased the land for £16.15s at the Sale of Special Lands at Linton in 1861.
The land, on the corner of Sussex and Clyde Streets, Linton, was later owned by David McFadzean, and after his death by several generations of the Barr/Greenbank families.
It is understood that David McFadzean built the house there in 1873. (House still standing, generally referred to as "Barr's" - current address 64 Sussex Street, Linton.)
