Pingelly - District Museum This old building seems to be undated and doesn't display any history. It is currently occupied by the Pingelly District Museum and was opened at such on 12th October 1979. Is it actually a new "old" building? November 2011 |
|
|

Pingelly - Roads Board Office Road Board buildings always look so solid and solitary. This one looks great! It's being used right now as the Community Agriculture Centre. November 2011 |
|
|
Pingelly - Post Office Post Offices always look so solid, functional and important. This is Pingelly 6308. It is for sale. I wonder where the post facilities will go to, unless Australia Post leases back the premises. November 2011 |

Pingelly - Old Building This old structure looks impressive. I rather think it is a private residence now. Once upon a time certainly commercial premises of sorts. It's on the main street on the corner Park Street (I think). November 2011 |
|
|
Pingelly - Old Commercial Bank Building A rather grand building on Parade Street that was built over 100 years as the Commercial Bank. And now it is up for sale. Signage indicates this was also once a newsagency, bookstore, stationer and jeweler (all at the same time). One time it was also tea rooms and a bed and breakfast. What a history. This is currently a private residence. November 2011 |

|
