Two storey commercial building with a battlement parapet and strongly modelled semi- circular openings.
In 1890 Western Australia achieved responsible government. this, combined with the discoveries of gold in the early 1890's, provided the catalyst for development in Perth. King St. was gazetted in 1845 and named after King William IV. Prior to the 1890's the area around King St. was characterised by workers cottages with shops, coal yards, smithies and foundries located in the adjacent areas of Murray and Hay Sts. In the mid 1890's some smaller businesses began to establish themselves in existing cottages and a number of larger enterprises erected substantial new offices and warehouses in the area. Earlier uses primarily served the local population, however this later development was more broadly based and was a direct response to the expansion of the city centre during the gold rush. The period from the 1890's to early decades of the twentieth century was characterised by a vigorous public works and corresponding expansion of commerce and trade. During this period, the character of the area around King St. was established. This area has recently (1990's) undergone a substantial program of restoration and is now characterised by new uses including cafes, boutiques and professional offices. (Notes extracted from the City of Perth property file : King St.) Originally in factory and warehouse for Halsey and Co Boot Manufactures.
