Historical information

Jager Stores, formerly known as the Oddfellows Hall, is a heritage-listed building on Stirling Terrace in Toodyay, Western Australia.
It was originally built in 1897 by the Independent Order of Oddfellows, after the demolition of the pensioner cottage on the site.
It was also available for public use and by the end of the first year it had been in constant use by travelling theatrical and opera companies. The Anglican Church held their annual very successful Bazaar in the Oddfellow's Hall.
In 1908 the hall was sold and William Padbury purchased the building for use as a store. From Padbury's time the place has continued to be a store under different owners.
In 1979 the store expanded with a self-service grocery section being added to the building. Further extensions were made in 1987 to expand the premises to the corner of Oddfellow Street and Stirling Terrace. The entrance to the store probably changed at that time.
In 2013, the Christmas 360 shop moved into the building.
