Hi Denise I'm afraid I don't know anything about his work in Tallangatta. The family moved several times, and later were in Swan Hill for some time and then in Burrumbuttock. My grandfather turned to building houses when motor vehicles came into vogue. My father was his apprentice, and they built several houses around Burrumbuttock in the 1920s.
