The building provided family accommodation and a store for the fishing and fish curing activities that took place on the adjacent beach. It was the birthplace of Arthur Anderson, co-founder of Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, (now P&O). The building was restored with grants provided by P&O and the UK Government in 1970,〔Irvine (1985), p.271〕 the first phase being completed in 1976.〔Irvine (1985), p.293〕 It opened as a museum in 1987, was acquired by the Shetland Museums Service in 1991 and is now run as a community museum by the Shetland Amenity Trust. The exhibition includes period furnishings and other artefacts together with displays on fishing and the life of Anderson.
