Stories:

Story 1: [???The abattoir and smithy of the Robinson Circus were in the present back yard. The cistern and some foundations are there along with the elephant wall of which Terrace Park Historical Society has a picture. ???] Actually according to the Robinson Circus plan of the buildings and the overlaid modern day map, directly behind this house were Wild Swine, Pelicans, Water Fowl and Ibex. Herbivores were to one side and Cape Buffalo & Camels to the other. The open sided Wagon Shed was right in front of this house.
