English: Constructed 1903 - very neglected. In 1903, a store was built by Herbert Greenhill Bourne and Percy Inglis, operating as Bourne & Inglis, storekeepers and pearlers. The building, with a steel frame, is believed to have been prefabricated in Britain and shipped out. In 1912, the store was leased by Norman Harper, one of three brothers trading as Harper Brothers, pearlers. In 1920, pearler David Lennie Dyson took over the lease and traded from the premises as Dyson & Co until at least 1963. The place was known locally as the Conti Store because it was opposite the Continental Hotel. Rate records for 1931-1955 indicate that there was also a dwelling on the site (since demolished). From 1949 to 1969, it was owned by Audrey Pamela Villiers Langdon Clement Nielsen of Virginia, USA, who was a member of the Gregory family. In 1969, it was purchased by Pearls Pty Ltd, trading as Paspaley Pearls, a company formed to develop the cultured pearl industry in Broome. They used the building for storage of pearling equipment for a number of years.
