Statement of Significance

The place is significant for its contribution to the streetscape on the east side of Walton Street. The associations with the people and activities of the town of Corrigin since the early days are significant.

Physical Description

The brick construction has a parapet street frontage with face brick pilasters either side of a rendered gable with a brick cap. A suspended canopy extends over the pavement. The timber framed shop front glazing is divided into 6 panels with a truncated panel leading into the door entry. During the 1960s, the standard policy was to remove verandah posts. It is assumed the verandah was removed at that time and the canopy constructed. The place responds in scale and rhythm to the neighbouring newsagency building, establishing a significant streetscape.

History
