Charlie Souey’s Store (fmr) is significant as a representation of typical 1930s structure in the town, and for the associations with Charlie Souey and various businesses since the 1930s. It contributes to the character and streetscape of Port Hedland town.
Single storey timber framed asbestos and corrugated iron clad bungalow raised on stumps with verandahs enclosed by dado walls and shutters. Hipped roof clad with corrugated iron. Setback from street with low perimeter fence and plantings.
Charlie Souey, a prominent community member and local businessman during the 1930s and 1940s, ran a general store and lived on the premises. In the late 1940s and into the 1950s, liquor sales and a meals diner were operated at the place. During the manganese boom time, Cliff and Trixie Edwards ran a wine saloon. Many local businesses have operated from the premises over the years.
