Carriage Builder detail
This is a rare sight in Australia these days. A building where carriages were built since 1864. This is the ornate upstairs residence, but at the back of the building on Paterson Street the workshops existed where carriages were manufactured for locals in the 19th century. This historic building sits right across the road from the Launceston Fire Station.
But the story of Frederick Paine doesn't end with building carriages for horses. In fact he saw the writing on the wall and is responsible for building the first ever motorised vehicle in Launceston in 1908 at this very site.. www.julianburgess.com.au/single-post/2019/09/24/praise-fo...
