This store, situated on Timor's border with Bowenvale, was the last in the area to close, in 1997. Records show the earliest part of the building in this photo was built 1870–1871 to accommodate the business of Scrafton S. Brown moving from flood-prone ground. In 1889, under the ownership of Joseph DuBourg, it was badly damaged by fire and rebuilt.
