Alternative NameShop 3, Pelican StreetF.R. Bickle & Son BuildingPelican HouseDescriptionThe former shop at 3 Pelican Street was constructed by Frank R. Bickle in 1926-27. At the time of the shop's construction, and for a time thereafter, Pelican Street formed the main business section of Tewantin. Bickle operated his business from the shop incorporating hardware supplies, cabinetmakers and builders, with a speciality for fishing tackle. He later extended the building to include a residence.
In 1933, James (Jimmy) Sweet acquired the shop premises from F.R. Bickle and converted it for use as a pharmacy. Over the years, the shop building has accommodated numerous businesses including a newsagency, barber, billiard saloon, real estate agency and a ladies' fashion shop.
Noosa Council purchased the building, originally for use by community groups. It is the only retail building remaining on Pelican Street and is now used as Council office space.Address3,Pelican Street,Tewantin,4565
