[1] In 1900, Oliver and Eva Whitfield operated a general produce store on the site, which was located beside the Western Australian Bank, Newcastle Branch.

[2] In 1903 the Newcastle Herald ran an advertisement promoting the business of Whitfield and Green, describing them as bakers and confectioners next to the WA Bank.

[1] The Toodyay Herald reported in November 1924 that "Mr Haymes' contractor has also commenced his work and is busy laying out the foundations of our new modern structure that is to be our new 'staff of life' depot.

"[8] The new shop was called "The Wendouree Refreshment Rooms" and, in a first for Toodyay, a new verandah was constructed using the cantilever principle that did not require supporting poles.

[14] In October 1954, as proprietor of the Wendouree Tearooms, Campbell placed the advertisement “Eat more Bread” in the Schedule of Prizes for the Toodyay Agricultural Society's Annual Show.

In 1984, Rob and Leah Broderick purchased the site, now trading as Toodyay Takeaways, and commenced plans to restore the building and business to its former name and style.

[20] In February 2003, an archaeological dig (supervised by archaeologist Gaye Nayton) was undertaken on the site adjacent to the tearooms of the old cottage that was demolished to make way for the new chemist shop.

[21] Today the tearooms are located in a single-height brick structure with a prominent parapet which is slightly Egyptian in style with an Art Deco influence.
