Werris Creek is the archetypal railway town. Established at a major rail junction the town grew to become one of the most important rail towns in Australia. The significance of the place is recognised in the fact that it was chosen as the location of the Australian Railway Monument. This monument remembers all who have been killed in the course of their work on the railways since the 1850s.
The former Chapman's Store is located directly opposite the railway station. It was built by Percy Jeffries in 1927 and served as the town's department store for many years. It reflects the Inter-War Free Classical Style favoured by department stores in this era.
