Statement of Significance

Shop, 97 Throssell Street, Collie a single-storey brick and iron shop constructed after 1909 has cultural heritage significance as part of the early commercial and retail centre of Collie and, although much of its original detailing is lost, aesthetic value for the contribution it makes to the streetscape of Collie.

Physical Description

Shop, 99 Throssell Street is a single storey brick and iron commercial building from 1910. There is a simple face brick parapet, with a suspended steel awning over the pavement. The front is glazed with rendered brick under, and a re-entrant door to one side. The window and door are steel framed, not original.

History

On 21 May 1909 a fire started in the shop of WE Smith, a tailor and spread rapidly through the eight wooden shops between the Colliefields Hotel and the Crown Hotel. The Southern Times of 25 May 1909 reported that the businesses destroyed as GW Hartley, grocer; WE Smith, tailor; CAF Bond, chemist; R Waters, baker and confectioner; N Glaris, fish saloon; E Reynardson, furniture warehouse, E Watt, newsagent and the Ezywalkin Boot Co, boot merchants. Property loss was estimated at £2,000 with total losses, including stock and equipment at £4-5,000. The vacant blocks on either side of the row of shops protected the Colliefields and Crown Hotels. Most tenants were living on site.
The Post Office Directories for Collie do not provide street numbers until 1934. Miss Peters, confectioner and tea rooms is listed as the occupant from 1934 to 1936, followed by the Boronia Tea Rooms (OC Etherington) from 1937 to 1944. A newspaper advertisement from 1935 indicates that the place was known as the Boronia Tea Rooms in Miss Peters’ time.
In 1945 and 1946, the occupant is listed as Mrs AJ Snell. There is no further listing for Mrs Snell or the Boronia Tea Rooms in the Post Office Directories. These records cease in 1949.

In 2016, the place is occupied by an Indian restaurant.
