The Three Mile House, a favourite picnic place, was built in 1857 and was owned by a Mr. Gough who also owned a zoo. It was demolished in 1918 to make way for the Train Station.
The Fairview Train Station was demolished in 1957 to make way for the new Fairview Underpass, or more commonly known today as the Fairview Overpass."
