Statement of Significance

Originally a residence converted into a commercial building in the centre of Mandurah.

Physical Description

The shop was possibly the first bank in Mandurah. Currently the site is a car park for the neighbouring restaurant.

History

After the death of her husband and sale of the family farm Violet Sutton and her 7 children took up residence in the building over the road from the school. She and her children lived there while she ran the corner store next door which was built by her cousin Charles Wearne. The shop and residence were joined; however it is likely that the shop was added to the eastern side of the house at a later stage.

Condition

Demolished (Approx 2003)
