IT IS not a shed but the Burra Town Hall houses some remarkable treasures.
Since it was reopened in 2006 after being restored and renovated, numerous photographs and memorabilia have been added to the Burra History Group's collection.
"We have thousands of photos, and (local) people can come and look up their family history," said group member Meredith Satchell.
"The hall has been restored by Roy Taplin, who has done an exceptional job."
One of the most popular rooms of the hall lies off to the side.
The Pascoe Collection, acquired by the Burra History Group in the early 2000s, is a remarkable group of photos of stud Merino sheep from some of the district's top studs.
These prints once lined the walls of Richard D Pascoe's barber shop in Commercial Street.
The collection started in 1910 when, as the story goes, local pastoralist LW Gebhardt of Mokota arrived at the shop with a framed photograph of one of his favourite sheep.
It did not take long for other breeders in the district to start doing the same thing.
Soon, the collection spanned three walls of the barber's shop and became a district attraction.
In 1925, Prime Minister Stanley Bruce visited the collection and proclaimed it the "best collection he had ever seen".
The Burra Record, April 1, 1925, said the Prime Minister had been told it was the finest in the world, and it proved to be a great advertisement for the district as well as an education for the general public.
Mr Pascoe died in 1946 and the shop was taken over by his son, Joe, however in 1961, the barber shop closed its doors for the final time after 73 years of business.
Following the shop's closure, the Pascoe Collection was dispersed.
A number of locals secured photographs, but a large portion of the collection was bought by the SA Stud Merino Sheepbreeders' Association and eventually, it was returned to the Burra Town Hall on permanent loan.
