Statement of Significance
The significance of Honest lohn's building is its integral link with the Historic Wyndham Port Precinct. The 1890s architectural style is of scientific and aesthetic appeal and fits with the overall architectural theme of the historic precinct. It was the first drapery shop established in Wyndham and was a central meeting place for the shopping community, both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal. It is a major attraction for visitors today.
