Physical Description
The building was originally timber framed, and was clad and roofed with galvanised iron. Later a bullnosed galvanised iron verandah was added. The living quarters were in a lean-to at the rear. The original dining room became the bedroom of Mrs Annie Gilmore. A shed, store and poultry run were added.
History
In about 1896 the building was originally erected by Fred Gilmore as a wayside inn at Jocks condenser, 34 miles south of Norseman. In 1913 F Gilmore moved to Esperance and farmed location 3919 CR location 397 and also son Gordon's blocks H location 605 and CP location 505. He was granted a special business area and wayside inn license. He dismantled the Lakeview building and transported it to Scaddan. Jim Anderson commenced re-erection. The liquor license was revoked, and the building was completed as the Temperance Hotel, serving as a wayside inn in the coaching days of 1915-1925. Later it was used as a post office and store, F Gilmore and Son, for the farming community of Scaddan. They were agents for Ford and State Machinery, Scaddan and for the branch at Salmon Gums from approximately 1925-1935. Later Mr and Mrs Ted McCarthy ran the Post Office and Store, followed by Daniels and then Le Mercier who built new premises opposite. The building was typical of a tavern, store, post office and agency that was the main focus of isolated communities in the first half of the century.
