7 High Street, Fremantle
The Bank of NSW operated from the premises until 1926, from which time until the 1950s the building was the office of the Swan Wool Scouring Company of WA.
The land was purchased by both R M Lyon sometime between 1829 and 1837, and R Brown in 1855 (it could be that there were multiple lots involved). Brown's son R M Brown inherited the property c. 1872 and sold it to R King two years later.
Pearse and Owston purchased the property in 1876 and seven years later they sold a share to the Bank of New South Wales.
The building is listed on the Register of the National Estate, and the City of Fremantle municipal heritage register.
