The Post Office Extension (centre) was built circa 1905, and the Cash Store (right) was added soon after.
In 1945 the operation of the Post Office was taken over by William George Humphrey, at a new building located further west. This "new" Post Office was in use until the 1990's and still stands on the corner of Avoca Drive and Davies Street. The Cash Shore shown above operated until the mid 1930's.
Manasseh Frost died in February 1956, aged 92 years.
