Demolished / No longer exists

This appears in several old photos of Nathan Road. I don't know the building's name, so for now we'll make do with the mouthful above.

There are several other similar buildings along Nathan Road. Some identifying features for this one:

  • The roof line has a large gable at each end, and two smaller gables between.
  • The columns on the front of the building are in the pattern 1-1-2-1-2-1-1
  • The road is on a slight slope here. If you look at the line between ground & first floors, you'll see it does a step up half way along.

Thanks Moddsey, that's a good one. A strange thing on the next building along to the north - originally it seems to have been abut twice the length of this one, with some sort of turret in the middle. Then later it seems the turret was knocked out, and Humphreys Ave run through the gap!
