Statement of Significance

• The location of one of the first petrol stations in Mandurah.

Physical Description

This building has had considerable modification- the facade was retained but the building behind the facade was demolished. Now home to a
restaurant on the bottom storey, offices on the second storey and residential dwellings on the third storey.

History

The facade was constructed by Bill Morgan for Hobart Tuckey. He leased the building to the Scott Brothers’ transport company, Mandurah Transport Service who used it as a petrol station.
In 1945, by arrangement with Tuckey, the Scott Brothers undertook to build a cold storage shed to the rear of the petrol station facade. It was subsequently purchased by Tuckey. In the 1940s a bus service operated from Mandurah to Fremantle several times a week from where the facade stands today.
The theatre was unofficially opened in 1983. In the past it has been headquarters for the Fire Brigade, the Yacht Club, the Mandurah Fishing Club and the Little Theatre. It is listed with the Art Deco Society’s list of significant buildings.
