In 1905Bernard Maurice Connor, Dr. Crawford and Charles Maxwell Lukin were instrumental in establishing the Toodyay gentleman's Club. Vernon Hamersley was the President in 1906. After initially meeting in a disused store, by the end of 1908, they opened new premises where members could meet. The opening ceremony was conducted by Admiral Sir G. Bedford. The building was constructed by local builder Henry Davey (1853-1910) who was also the hotel-keeper of the Freemasons and member of the Toodyay Municipal Council.
