The building was formerly a Malt House, probably associated with the public house (and others nearby in Hall Street) adjacent to the west, which was demolished in around 1902 during construction of the Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway through the town. The south-west corner of the Malt House was also removed for the railway alignment. Ballard took over the by then disused building in 1928-30 for use as a motor repair garage and petrol station.
