Built by Reuben Edwards, a son-in-law of John Dewar. The top story was destroyed in a violent storm in 1943. It has since changed hands many times being used as a General Store, Bakery and in recent times for machinery and agriculture sales and a Petrol Station and Garage.
Built for Ruben Edwards and his wife Adeline Dewer, the two storey stone and mud bat building consisted of two sitting rooms, two bedrooms, dining room and bar and tap room. There was a cellar below the house, a scullery and outbuildings. Licensed as a Public House i 1905, the building has also been used as a Bakery and General Store. The place now functions as a garage and service station and consists of living quarters behind a Shop front and Service Station.
The Edwards Gingin Hotel was built for Reuben Edwards and his wife, Adeline Dewar, in anticipation of the railway passing through Gingin. The builder was Richard Masters and building commenced in May of 1886. It was a two storey stone and mud bat with two sitting rooms, two bedrooms, dining room, and bar and tap room. There was a cellar below the house, a scullery and outbuildings. It was licensed as a Public House in 1905. In July 1907, it was transferred to Clayton Edwards' son, Reuben, who converted it to a Bakery and General Store. In 1910 it was taken over by A. Lucraft, who did not use the Bakery. In December of 1914, a violent storm blew the roof off but this was replaced. In 1922 it was taken over by J.E. Prior. Between 1926 and 1939, it operated as a Bakery by H. White, F. Roberts, C P. Knight and E.G. Portwine for various amounts of time. When it was leased to Pearse Herbert in 1928, he installed a petrol pump on Weld St. In March 1943, the Hotel/Store was again unroofed by a storm and the top storey demolished. Ralph Hill re-roofed the lower stonewalls as a bungalow. The building has been extended to the front and north side and has served as a Garage and Service Station for many years. Peter Crowe is the present owner.
