Lyall’s Store is significant as an intact store space, working area and strong room in a former gold mining town. Its narrow frontage, indicative of the challenges of early surveying in a town already established, and its curved plate glass display windows make a valuable contribution to Mosman Street.
This masonry store was constructed in 1897 for watchmaker and jeweller David Lyall. A well-known and prestigious store, Lyall’s was fitted out fashionably and expensively and from its opening lit with electric light.
The building is currently leased leased to private business operator.
