This was one block from the corner of the Mandurah Road (now South Terrace) and By-the-Sea Road, which was renamed Jenkin St in 1909-10 for Rev. J.H. Jenkin of the South Fremantle Wesley (Methodist) Church. The building was severely damaged in a storm in 1981 and demolished in October 1981.
The site is now occupied by modern shops at 255/257 South Terrace.
