Shop, 97 Throssell Street, Collie, a brick and iron shop constructed after 1909 has cultural heritage significance as part of the early commercial and retail centre of Collie and aesthetic value for the contribution it makes to the streetscape of Collie.
Shop, 97 Throssell Street, Collie is a single storey masonry and iron commercial building with a single room frontage. The entrance is to the side, and the front elevation is at an angle to the street. The rendered parapet is curved with horizontal bands. The awning is suspended over the pavement with steel rods. There are no verandah posts. The shop front is glazed.
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 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. From 1934 to 1939 H Jarman men’s mercer and clothier is listed at the address. There is no further listing at the address until the Post Office Directory records cease in 1949.
In 2016, the place is vacant. It was previously occupied by the Collie Physiotherapy Clinic.
