Tack's Store (former) comprises a two-storey store and residence. The double storey timber framed building with front verandah is zero setback to the symmetrical street frontage. The building and the gable roof are clad with painted corrugated iron. The upstairs verandah balustrade is infilled with lattice.
Originally owned by pearler Hugh Norman, in 1908, it was leased to Ghi Twan who ran a boarding house on the premises. It was leased by storekeeper San Juan in 1913. Louey Ling Tack arrived in Broome in the 1910s. He operated as a pearl dealer from a store on corner of Dampier and Napier terraces from 1919 tuntil1926 when he returned to Hong Kong. By c.1920, he had purchased the building in Carnarvon Street and after his return to Hong Kong a family member, Arthur Fong Tack Louey, came to Broome to run the general merchant store. Arthur was treasurer and secretary of the Chinese Club for many years and Chinese interpreter for the Clerk of Courts when required. He continued to run the store until his death in 1988, aged 85, and is buried in the Chinese cemetery. Pearl Chong Fong-Louey, owns the place and has leased it to various businesses in recent years.
