The original Pilgrim's & Sabie News building was situated on this stand. The building burned down in 1918. A Mr. Murray who stayed on the premises burned to death in this fire. The present Iron Store building was erected on this site as a store room for the Pilgrim's Hotel. The original business known as the Iron Store was owned by RTN James in the 1870s and sold mainly groceries and digging equipment.
