History

Kinney's Store, and the adjoining premises occupied by Bob's Shoe Store and Anastasia's Pearl Gallery, were formerly part of T. B. Ellies' store. Thomas Bastion Ellies was a jeweller and pearler, and the most famous of the Broome pearl cleaners. He took a ten-year lease on premises in Napier Terrace in 1906. In 1919, he purchased part of Lot 4, the site of Kinney's store, where a billiard saloon was operating on the corner of John Chi Lane. The billiard saloon was still operating in 1922, and Ellies purchased the adjoining portion of Lot 3 that year. The building on that site was a former residence. Ellies ran his jewellery store from these premises. When T. B. Ellies died in 1937, the premises passed to other members of the Ellies family. In 1976, Peter and Beverley Kinney and Brian County purchased the Lot 4 property.
