The CGI shed site has local historic and social significance as a remnant of the development of the town
The corrugated iron (CGI) shed sits off the road adjacent to an old house in an area that probably had many more houses around it formerly. The building appears to have originally had a barn type form with a high central roof. It is clad completely with CGI to both roof and walls together with a series of extensions and enclosures around its perimeter walls.
The old CGI shed is said to have been used variously including as a general store for the town ( * Source: Peter Harris). A store at Ajana was run by Tennyson Watt c1931. The property was owned by J.G. Mitchell and was offered for rent in 1932 [Geraldton Guardian 25/02/1932], The store was run by Mary Ruffin c1944. The place was destroyed by fire in April 2002.
