The building's original use was as a granary and dwelling. The date of construction of the granary is estimated to be c1860. The builder was George Henry Hasell and the architectural style is Victorian Georgian.
By 2010 the roof of the granary had been replaced with corrugated iron so this photograph was taken prior to then.
(Note: The Toodyay Tourist Centre operated between 1973 and 1999 after which it changed its name. Therefore this is the possible date range of this image)

James Twine came to the colony as a labourer in 1833 and bought a farm in Guildford. He traded this farm with Dr Viveash's Toodyay holdings in 1852 in order to consolidate his land with his stepson's inherited lands. Further purchases during the 1860s lead to a 1400 acre pastoral leases to the east and developed the neighbouring farm, 'Maisemore'.
James Twine was an inaugural member of the Toodyay Road Board. He retired in 1874 and his sons took over management of the properties. (ref: Toodyay Municipal Inventory, 2010 listing ref 93)
