It is a very large T-shaped building with segmental arched windows. The slatted floor in the woolshed is reputed to have been something of an innovation at that time. From the outside the building looks very attractive with its cream limestone and the red painted roof of corrugated iron.
It was built by the Canterbury and Otago Association (later merged with the New Zealand and Australian Land Company) who bought Hakataramea from Douglas, Alderson and Co, the second owners. The station itself began in 1857 by George Duncan Lockhart and the centenary celebrated in 1968 was that of the land company ownership. This solid construction of the building reflects the company's attitude towards heavy investment in buildings and plant.
This woolshed is a large and functional legacy from last century and an impressive sight in its high country location beneath the Kirkliston Range.
