Reference numberE000191DescriptionIn 1880, Lot 101 was owned by M. Higham & Sons who had a dwelling on the lot. This was leased to numerous people and in 1887, was extended to include six rooms which then continued to be leased out. In 1904, the Strelitz Brothers built the present building. Owners of the lot changed frequently. Fremantle Provedoring/Shipstores owned the lot until 1983 and used the premises for office purposes only. In 1977, a plan was put forward by Forbes & Fitzhardinge for additions that involved the doubling of the office space within the building by adding mezzanine floors and it was at this stage the whole office area was refurbished. Scodic Industries bought the premises in late 1983 and used it as their offices. This site was purchased by Interstruct in 1984 and there is a new development behind the fa?â•‘ades of Nos. 5, 7 & 9 Pakenham St and only the facade of the original building remains.Date1985PhotographerWatkins, SkipPhotograph FormatPhotographDigital ItemYes
