Statement of Significance
The place is significant for the associations and the architecture which is representative of a type of which few examples remain.
Physical Description
Timber framed and painted weatherboard clad structure with a hipped corrugated iron roof. The front of the place aligns with the front boundary and the front shop entry door is recessed. A side entry to the residence on the south side is shown by a lean-to shelter over the door as is in place over the shop entry. The street frontage shows evidence of some alteration.
History
The shop has been managed and run by George Holdaway for a number of years. Mr Holdaway has been a shopkeeper in Corrigin for 1946, and this is his fourth shop. George, aged 97 and a half years old, is reputed to be the oldest shopkeeper in Australia. He single-handedly runs the deli-like shop, and resides at the rear attached accommodation. Sometime previous to George, the place was a dental surgery.
