History
Little definitive information has been found to clarify the former owner or occupants of this place. From the available evidence it appears that the shed was used for the premises of a produce suppliers. The remnants of signage on the elevation facing Uduc Road show the words 'Brunnings', 'Pasture Seeds' and 'Dairy'. Brunnings are a Victorian seed merchant which still operates today [2013]. This indicates that the premises were for the sale of supplies for farmers. Its location in the centre of town supports this conclusion.
During the early 20th century there are several produce merchants mentioned in the post office directories; WA Farmers Ltd, Harvey Produce Co-Op, J. Lowe and H.H. Perrin. Information from the Shire of Harvey Heritage Committee indicates that this building was at one time owned by Jack Lowe.
The remnant of hoarding across the front of the building relates to a former car saleyard. This is consistent with the Harvey Co-Op which sold cars and trucks in the 1920s.
Further research is required to determine the occupants and use of this building.
