The three storey hall was built neighbouring Scots Church in the interwar commercial palazzo style in rendered reinforced concrete.  It features a prominent piano nobile base with arched windows and keystones.  It is currently destined for demolition, so I thought I’d make an effort to document it before the swing of the wrecking ball so to speak.

109 Russell Street is a three storey red brick and render warehouse at the corner of Flinders Lane and Russell Street.  It was built in 1910 for Beath, Scheiss and Feldstead clothing manufacturers to a design by architects HW & FB Tompkins and forms part of a significantly intact pre World War II streetscape on both Flinders Lane and Russell Streets.
