[edit]DescriptionStateLibQld 2 160104 A. J. Smith's store at Cloncurry, 1952.jpg |
English: A. J. Smith's store at Cloncurry, 1952. The A. J. Smith & Co. stores have been in business since the early days at Cloncurry, Julia Creek and Normanton. The original business started in Port Douglas. This building shown here is the second shop in Cloncurry. The first store, built in 1898, was dismantled in the thirties and cut in two, half the store went to Richmond to become the Richmond Stores and the other half was sent to another location in Cluncurry and became J. C. Butts' store. Moving the store to Richmond, involved a barge from Normanton to Townsville then from Richmond by train, then Richmond to Cloncurry by camel train. The cost of the relocation was estimated to have cost £28,000. It was re-erected at a cost of £1,000 . A. J. Smith had businesses from 1898 in Burketown, Normanton, Richmond, Julia Creek and Cloncurry. (Description supplied with photograph). |
