TitleParkyn's flats, Lake Street, Tewantin, ca 1940s Additional Information
These 2 flats were built by John 'Jack' Parkyn on the Martins Tewantin Hotel site after the hotel burnt down on 9th March 1940. Jack Parkyn bought three of the four lots from the Martins, the 4th on the corner of Lake & Doonella St, belonged to the Donovan’s, Jack also bought all the lots behind the 2 flats, where he built a small cottage that was originally Lola Parkyn’s Shop that was in front of the Parkyn’s home in 67 Doonella St. The Parkyn's had moved the shop by truck to the site behind the flats where it was known as 'The Humpy'. Then there was a spare allotment that only had 2 large sheds on the front boundary in which they stored some dinghies when not needed, & large piles of a certain sawdust that they purchased to wrap the live prawn in to sell. Beside this allotment was the ‘Doonella Cottage’ which he built, as a more permanent rental. This site then became Howard Parkyn’s home, & is still a Parkyn home.
