Significance: Building 17 was built in 1894 to house the stables of the Dobsons' mill. It is significant as it is one of the few surviving buildings which serviced the mill complex and, as such, it documents the Dobsons' efforts to utilize the same architectural vocabulary of rubble, brick and timber for the smaller, utilitarian buildings on the site.
