Its use during the Second Settlement

Number 1 Quality Row was built for the Stipendiary Magistrate and was begun in 1845, when Major Joseph Childs was the Commandant.  It is built on the southern side of Quality Row, as there was not much land left where the other houses had been built.  It faces the sea, as the Magistrate did not want his house to face the duplex across the road built for the Superintendents of Convicts.

 

 

  

Its use during the Third Settlement

When the Pitcairn settlers came in 1856, William Quintal lived in the house.  The Quintal family continued to live in the house until the house was destroyed by fire in 1908.

Its use today

 The Magistrate’s house became the Clubhouse of the Norfolk Island Golf Club in 1931. It was reconstructed in 1973 and 1984, and is still the clubhouse. Golf is a popular sport on the island. Many visitors who come to the island play golf and have a drink or a meal at the clubhouse.
